Trail Report: Friday, Sept. 4

Here's our Trail Report for Friday, September 4:

🚵 It rained most of the day on Thursday, but I managed to sneak out for a ride on Sunnyside when the rain let-up late in the afternoon. I'm happy to report incredible riding conditions, with nice, damp soil, but no mud and only a few puddles. It was very nice to see after a long, dry summer with pretty blown out trails. We heard similar positive reports from Boulder, and we expect Macpherson is also riding nicely.

🌤 It looks like some more rain is in store for Friday afternoon and possibly later Saturday as well. The cloudy skies and cool temps in the forecast bode well for trail conditions, though they're perhaps less encouraging if you're hoping for a sunny ride in the alpine. If that's the case, Saturday morning looks like your best bet.

⛏ Trail crew spent most of the week building two new adaptive bridges on Flowdown. We're nearing the end of this major project to make Flowdown and Stimulus accessible to adaptive riders, which has been one of our priorities the last two years. The work has the added bonus of replacing aging infrastructure. We're grateful to the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC and Resort Municipality Infrastructure Program for funding this project that has seen us replace almost 150 metres of bridges and boardwalks.

Trail crew also finished up a final feature on Snakes & Ladders they're calling the "ski jump." Remember to scout it out before you send it. We've put a lot of work into reviving Snakes & Ladders, so let us know what you think.

🏁 Speaking of Snakes & Ladders, it will be featured in our final round of the Tantrum Enduro Series on Wednesday, Sept. 9. We'll announce the complete course on Monday.

🪩 Don't forget about Revelstoke Bike Fest, which is coming up from Sept. 14-20. Visit www.revelstokebikefest.com for all the details.
