         wood rots and has a finite lifespan. this is called trail maintenance.

         The bridge wasn’t rotten, it needed a little chicken wire, but hey let’s keep paving trails to include everyone, and that rock work is going to be needing some replacement a lot quicker than the bridge. You can tell an Italian didn’t do it.

         Chicken wire has not been a trail building material since the 90’s. And Grinch Toes will only include everyone when we’re on flying AI-bikes, it’s still a hard black trail with steeps, drops and exposure. Accept change, ride the new feature someone voluntarily crafted or go find another rotten bridge to adorn.

         It didn’t need chicken wire. Just skill, brake control and awareness of the material you are riding on. It’s a big change of a classic feature. There’s already a ride around for wet days, no need to make the “main line” even easier

         Maintenance is considered fixing or replacing like for like. This has completely changed a section of trail and replaced it with rock armouring. Slowly but surely, Squamish is turning into Fromme. Why couldn’t the bridge be replaced if it was that degraded? It was the iconic feature of that trail and is disappointing to see it torn out and replaced with this

         you're seriously upset about this? building bridges sucks and they wear out way too fast for the effort...especially in a location like this where people ended up skidding down it and it wears out even faster.

        kudos to the builder/maintainer!

         New work looks superb. Can’t wait to give it a whirl. Thanks to the trail fairies for the hard work.

         No dig no opinion is a dumb take. So no one can have an opinion unless they have a shovel in their hands at all times. Get a grip dude.
