Danger Tree on Bridle Path

Watch out for a fallen tree on Bridle Path near the entrance to Sticks and Stones. We have notified the landowner and recommend that you avoid this trail until it is removed or falls down completely. The tree is hanging dangerously over the trail and may come down at any moment. If you notice anything while you're on the trails, please contact trails@nsmba.ca!

Bobsled Closed for Repairs

Effective Tuesday, July 20th  Bobsled will be closed. The DNV will be completing a Danger Tree Assessment in preparation of the trails makeover. The majority of the work will be starting next week and the trail will remain closed until work is complete.

The plan is to turn Bobsled from a primarily fall line trail that requires constant maintenance into a fun, flowy beginner/intermediate trail that will provide a new level of progression for riders new to the Shore. Please allow the trail crew to focus on their work by choosing a different trail for your ride. Even better, if you see the crew working away stop in and lend a hand!

Critters are in the Woods - Be Careful

With the warmer weather upon us, critter encounters have been abundant on the trails we ride. In the LSCR, there have been at least two separate instances where dogs have been lured and attacked by coyotes, as well as a few daylight cougar sitings.

If you encounter a wild animal, stay calm. Check out the links below on how to respond to a wildlife situation.

Sumas Mountain - Timeout Trail Closure

Work Complete on Richard Juryn Trail

Rare Earth Recreational Developments has completed the majority of their work on the Richard Juryn Trail heading up to the Camp Brick Lookout. The trail is now climbable by mere mortals and open for your enjoyment!

This corner used to be a sniper maneuver. Now it's just a physically challenging uphill grind!

Please enjoy the trail and thank Metro Vancouver for their hard work

New XC Line on Seymour: "Sticks & Stones"


The NSMBA is proud to announce the completion of a trail reroute on Seymour Mountain.  Thanks to a grant from TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, the NSMBA trail crew has recently completed the first phase of what will be a four phase project ultimately resulting in a five kilometre cross country trail loop on Seymour Mountain. The loop will have sections of varying difficulties, but the main focus will remain on developing XC trails that are fun to ride and will stand the test of time on the North Shore.
