    District of North Vancouver

Technical trail containing many steep natural and man-made TTFs. The TTFs are very skinny and challenging. Not a beginner trail.

Digger is a steep, old school, techy, VERY slow and precise trail. If you want fast flow with jumps and drops, this totally is not the trail for you. If you like precise, start and stop, slow trials-like technical, hit it Avoid taking new riders and those without a good rear wheel sense down it.

Access Info

Accessed off Baden Powell, exciting at Braemar road close to the powerlines.

 Shore tech at its finest. An awesome short tech trail that feels longer.

 Recent rain has the rocks a little too slick in some sections. Other than that the trail is doing just fine!

      Some of the wood could be updated (that one broken log ride)
      Charlyzzz
      Good old-school gnarly facing down trail. Most TTFs are decommissioned or so it seems. As far as ◆◆, one of the easier ones. Everything rolls, but lots of gnarl. Not overly hard if you take your time. Harder than skull, simpler than bookwus. Perfect as it is!
