Design & Construction
Our trails are built in adherence to guidelines and standards, combining our years of experience and employing renown principles of IMBA Canada & the PTBA. Our staff are trained and well-versed in creating durable hand and machine-built trails that work with the topography, soils and drainage. Our aim to provide progressive trails with sweet singletrack and XC routes that wind through the forest and over the natural terrain; purpose-built Flow trail with various dirt jumps, banked and roller features to facilitate carving and rhythmic roller coaster experience; or full on DH with challenging descents, technical skills and elevated components.
