A classic tech / flow trail built and maintained by Ride BC (www.ridebc.ca) and friends. Pamplemousse was built by hand over 3 years taking 3,400 hours. Thanks to the Squamish Nation, this trail is built on their land. We are guests in their beautiful forest. Please be respectful of the trail and forest (ride don't slide).

The trail requires advanced cornering and jumping skills. Please ride with caution your first time down. There are exposed benched sections, steep corners and an optional trail gap.

Access Info

On the right about 200 m into Credit Line. If you are riding south on Jacks trail after Pamplemousse please ride slowly and be respectful of other users.

 Never loved the drop, the roll is cool but careful with the Lil kick cause you will likely do a sick unintentional nose mannie for a bit. Stay off...

      Well, the new bridge instead of a drop is just lame, who would've thought...

      Great trail. The faster you go, the flowier it is. The trail gap is a bit awkward, and pretty low reward. More fun to just flow through.

      Super fun and fast trail. Some fun, steep corners and really nice trail building. No crazy tech features but there is a big jump alternative if that’s your bag. Just a super fun trail with not an inch of ascent.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
