TPOC stands for: “The Possibilities of Canada Are Truly Great” This slogan originated from the Canadian Gov’t in the early 1900’s, and inspired the title of Martin Nordegg’s autobiography. Just like Canada, Nordegg and this trail offer possibilities you will not want to miss. These range from fast machine groomed sections, big berms, fresh loam, beautiful views and more.

      the 1 steep S-turn section (with warning to slow down) could be rated black. it had loose rocks and was so steep you couldnt stop once you started. it would be very hard to walk down, so intermediate riders beware

      I'm blown away by the quality of the berms! Tight and steep and it feels like a million of them. The name is really fitting as I feel there's tons of possibilities for sneaky gaps. Really excited to session this Trail next season. Well done!

      Trail just opened, it can be raw in parts, needs more rides to pack it down. Lots of moss in parts. Kudos to the trail builders.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
