High Point
A classic Fromme lap. Simple climb on fireroad followed by an epic North Shore descent that will tale the fastest riders 20+ minutes but the descent could easily take you an hour if you are taking your time, sessioning things and looking at your trailforks app. A great variety of new school and old school riding. Enjoy This is one of the best laps on Fromme.

From looking at the really rocky sections I thought they would be really bumpy but, if you go at speed they are actually quite smooth

One of the best trails on fromme. Steep rock switchbacks and at the end, there is a fun wooden ladder part.

My favorite trail on fromme. Such a good mix of tech, features, and flow. Awesome trail worth the climb for sure!

Really amazing trail. I Ben in the wet there is still lots of grip.
A note to fast riders, don’t try passing slower riders while they are moving through techy/rocky steep turns. It ruins the experience when you bail because someone decides to blow by you. Just give a shout and pass when safe to do so!! We are all there to have fun. Keep those maneuvers for a race day!

Rock work is astonishing. I can’t even think of all the hours of work put into the construction of this trail. Epic.

Did this my first day mountain biking! Great track very fun! If you take it slow enough anyone can do it! I did walk one section but other than that was a blast!

Trail Upper Griffen
Great blue tech trail, if you have done trails like bobsled and your wondering what some rocks and roots feel like I would recommend this trail as its kinda XC and not too steep but still lots of fun. Just be weary of going to middle griffen as it isnt in that good of condition now a days and has some very tight corners and even a non-roll drop(which you dont usually see on blue trails but is clearly indicated by the huge amount of scrape marks from people's gears and pedals). I would recommend taking a right and going down king of the shore if you are a more beginner rider.

Awesome trail but beware of tight, rocky and sometimes quite steep corners(not very blue votes aside). Still overall sick trail and great for getting better at rocky corners! Most of the other TTFs have a ride around.

Awesome trail in wet weather! Epic amount of armour and nothing too sketchy. Great start to Crinkum and Kirkford

Managed to clear as much of it as I could find. Thank Odin for tubeless tires tho

Trail Crinkum Access
Just a heads up all. There’s a significant amount of broken glass spread out on Kirkford beginning approx 20 feet after the initial wood roll-in. I’d like to think it wasn’t intentional but it came in a variety of colours and spread quite neatly.

One of the most if not the most amazing trail on the mountain! Definitely worth going up and shredding all the way down to Kirkford! This trail is a must when visiting Mt. Fromme!

Accessible North Shore style trail that flows well through its fortified rocky technical sections. Really well built and loads of fun.

Trail 7th Secret
Beauty of a trail! First ride today, my first ride on the Shore... and it lived up to the hype. Even got to meet Pete, who I understand is the master builder on this beauty. The rock work is amazing! It was pretty busy up there, but everyone was in a good mood and very friendly. Overall a great ride.
