TRAIL UPDATES :: send us your trail report email jude The Sea to Sky Corridor is undergoing a whole lot of construction, development and harvesting. Watch this page for the latest news on lost trails, trail changes, closed roads and detours. Don't Get Stuck! GEORGES CROSSING - Hooray - the bridge joining
Skookum with the Pseudo Ptsuda and Recycle trails has been replaced
by an awesome official bridge. Acknowledged that this would not
have happen without the generous support from the following organizations
TRESTLE TRAIL - Hello Everyone I am sorry to inform you that the log bridge on the Trestle Trail had to be cut down as it was unsafe. We are working at trying to have the bridge rebuilt. I will keep you inform of our progress. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Todd Pope Trails Coordinator District of Squamish (604) 815 4962 www.squamish.ca
GEORGE'S CROSSING - Due to Logging activity in the area, George's Crossing Bridge will be closed until further notice. The log bridge will be replaced after forestry acitvites have ceased, this should be completed in about three weeks time (mid May). ADOPT A TRAIL Beta Testing Now you can adopt your favourite trail, keep it clean, and have all the resources of the DOS to help keep it in good shape. The District of Squamish launched their new adoptatrail.ca website this week. Take a look! Test of Metal trail Days www.testofmetal.com
for more details. SORCA maintains the trails Consider getting out and helping to spruce up our awesome trail network. Both XC and Downhill Trail Days are planned. Bring: Hiking boots or work boots, grubby clothes, work gloves, lunch, water, raingear and a hat if needed. Expect: A minimum of 3 hours gets your name in the volley box, but the hardcore keep digging 5 or more hours. It’s fun and very rewarding! www.sorca.ca SORCA XC Trail Maintenance Days SORCA DH Trail Maintenance Days At the recent SORCA AGM concerns were expressed regarding the
Lost Loop and Really Lost Loop trails in Crumpit Woods. Please
stay off these trails as they lead into an active blasting area
on Bob Fast’s (Cardinal Concrete, Coast Aggregate) property. Bridges November 26, 2007 :: To add to my Elvis sighting yesterday
on the bridge that was just completed in Loggers Creek by CMCC
Contracting I wanted to let you know that the big bridge that
leads into Coho Park has now been replaced by Fiander Construction.
It seems that the last couple of months have all been about
bridges. Also we have plans to replace the old single plank bridge
in the Maple Crescent area in Brackendale in the coming weeks
I will keep you posted. I hope you can get out and enjoy the snow
along our trails. Trail Quiz: The trail elves (or should I say the 'Boys from Pemberton') have been busy this summer - bless their little hearts - and we have been gifted with some pretty cool new paths to enjoy. See if you can choose the right answer to 'Name that Trail': 1. An extension to Cat Lake's winding downhill trail Cheshire
Cat. Pop out onto the highway briefly and look for the trailhead
on your left. 2. A branch off Crouching Squirrel - loamy forgiving downhill,
single diamond mostly with some nice double diamond rock faces
and drops strewn about. Finishes in the same area the Squirrel
finishes 3. Up Mike’s Loop. Right onto Entrails, past the little
lake, across the bridge, up the hill then left onto new trail.
The trailhead is clearly marked. Lot's of double diamond rock
and drop. Send your new trail descriptions to jude@squamishmountainbike.com. I'll make ya famous! Dirt Bikes and ATVs - Todd Pope has asked anyone that comes accross Dirtbikes or ATV's using cycling/hiking trails to report the occurence to him. A location, time, date, and perhaps a brief description of any damage done to trails and of any interactions would be appreciated. We are having some issues with Dirtbikes damaging the new Farside trail, the Powerhouse Plunge, Ray Peters Trail, and others. You can reach him at tpope@squamish.ca Rigs and Zen / Crouching Squirrel : Official maintenance guru for this trail is now Steve Klassen of Brackendale's Bean Around the World. To report issues or help with trail work contact Steve at beanbrackendale@telus.net. 70% of Squamish Mountain Bike Trails are on their way
out CREDIT LINE Posted by BJ Doyle on the Sorca Forum : Has anyone else checked out "Credit Line" yet? Easy to find. Head up Mike's Loop counterclockwise (above Alice Lake, for those new to the area) ...at about the halfway point you'll find it easily (marked with a yellow sign). Comes out @ the southern end of Jack's Trail. Bit of a climb to a ridge...nice view @ the halfway mark, couple of short, technical sections here & there...otherwise, XC S W E E T N E S S ! ! ! (Weenie that I am, I walked it first with my dog...) |
