No doubt!! There's already a lot of that in the works for this spring. Somewhere between Function and Horseshoe Bay

I'm still gonna fight the good fight and see if we can't hook up some compromises with what we got though. There are a few primo trails I would/will really miss...

Rode some sweet sweet loamy trails on the Shore today. I want more loam. I like loam. I'm still grinning, thinking of loam.

Rode Cougar solo this morning. The trail's the best it's ever been. I pussed on the goalposts but all the other rocks are just money right now. So clean they look fake, Jurassic Park style.

Who's all going to the DH trailday on the SSC???

Barry. You should build up your Kona Stinkaluna and go do catwalks.

Speaking of which Tantalus is having a Kona Demo Day March 25. Try any Kona you want. Hit jumps, XC, rail some trails whatever. It's at the top of Perth, so theres some jumps, some XC loops, and Rollercoaster (sick fast singletrack). Not sure what time it's goin' down. Give 'em a call. (604)898-2588

Rode cw today. The trail was sooo good. just the right moisture in the loam and hovering below 0 degrees. The ladders were sketchzorz though!!! I made buddy go first on the skybridge, It was covered in snow and creaking and bending. I think it would be best if it got re-routed down lower, and made a lower-key crossing lower down. We hit 9-lives after and I ATE SHIT on the ladder stepdown tacoed my 729 and buddy broke his d-hanger

Best ride in forever though

I rode 5 point to meet yer maker today in really good shape, anyone know anything about the new trail being put in up there, does that have something to do with the far side. because I noticed, what I assumed to be the new far side braching off really early and didnt cross anything else new till half way down 5 point, I could be completely off but I remember them say they wanted to build it where it cant get touched and i doubt it will up there.

Yea that's gotta be the new Far Side route. I couldn't see any other trail going in there. Haven't seen it myself, but if you wanna help out email Chris @ trails@sorca.ca

Ian I'm down for a ride Sunday or Monday, shuttle or pedal. If your feelin' lazy you can come drink beer and work on my trail!

OH yea! That D9 Bulldozer that was parked SQUARE in the high-speed somewhat blind exit to Psuedosuga (the mulchy road past High and Dry) is gone. I almost hit it my first time down this year. Bucket SQUARE in the middle of the trail. What a dickhead.

Last night I hit up blow out your candles/pseudotsuga and they were heli-logging around high and dry and the cut block farther east with the dirt jumps. No D9 anymore. I cleared a bunch of blow out your candles but there were a couple of big ones we couldn't move that need a chainsaw. A little snowy but good times none the less.
