Land OwnerBC Parks
This was a wild Double Black/Pro wood line back in its day.
Sadly, since the closure of Spanky's, back in 2016, this trail has seen a steady decline in use.
All of the features which made the trail, and the 2 main jumps are currently out of commission.
The trail was downgraded to a blue due to all the features being closed.
2023 could well be the start of bringing this trail (which was in its prime before Strava) back to life, giving the Vernon area a much needed technical wood trail.
