      The first big skinny is in rough shape. Rotten and wobbly. Might have to be decommissioned soon, unfortunately. Otherwise, the trail is riding great, and all the rock rolls are super fun.

      Massive black bear was sitting in the middle of the access trail today, he sat down and stared at me so I back and waited ten mins and he had gone on his way.

      Couple of the boards are coming loose on the gap jump.

      Deff a spicy BC black as they should be, rad features and some decent techy descents. Access is a long hike a bike, but worth the push!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
