Land ManagerGrouse Mountain
Classic armoured trail, single track reinforced with rock work and many cedar planks, so rides well in the wet. The double black stunts are
numerous, and not for the faint of heart, but all are optional with fun ride arounds. When you are ready, the elevated skinnies, committing rock rolls
& high, steep, narrow ramps will test your skill. Without the optional features, the single-black trail rides similarly to 7th Secret but a bit more technical. If you continue to
Lower Oilcan,
don't expect anything of the same as L.O. is primarily an All Mountain
trail devoid of structures.

What a gem. Another trail that's stood the test of time. Props to Peter for rockwork that lasts. And to Daniel Lui and to Jorn for the ace work on woodwork restoration - even going to the trouble of matching the look and feel of old stunts

Crazy (but fun and doable) woodwork, slow and chunky with some ups and downs at the top of the trail

Chundery single black trail with challenging double black features. Truly a shore classic. Definitely ride to get your skinny and rock fix.
