I just rode Vedder Mountain today - out by Cultus Lake, in Chilliwack. OMG it was sooo nice and so high up whoa :| you shuttle part way, then hike a bike the rest, then lots of vertical downhill. Soooooo fast. I'm afraid I'm not sure of the names of the trails we did :( The trails were mainly natural, not much in the way of northshore style stunts - reminded me of Sunpeaks. Few ladders here and there, but mainly just to get over mud.

Once we finished the first part, we cut over and rode a trail with lots of drops - ladders and such. Good beginner drops :D and some ladders with 6-10 foot drops.

So damn cold today though holy crap - lots of ice and some snow at the top.

Worth checking out!

I was up there last fall. Excellent ride! I found some of the trails a bit chewed up by dirt bikes. I'm definately up for going again though.

The last trail sounds like Dilemma...sweet jumps and drops and then some fast and flowy with some decent steeps. There is a bike shop in the Vedder area that has some maps for sale for Vedder, check it out...(I forget, maybe the name is The Bike Shop?)
