Nothing beats trail work in the Fall. With the advent of the rainy season, it makes the dirt perfect for raising the trail bed, protecting routes and shaping the perfect berm.
From a new reroute on Pangor (look for the orange flagging tap), a rebuilt drop on Imonator and fresh dirt throughout the trail network, there’s been a lot going on this past month!

If you see any maintenance issues on the trails be sure to report it via Trailforks with a photo of the issue and map coordinates/location if possible. It’s the quickest and best way to alert the builders of any work that needs to be done.
If you don’t have trailforks, you can also email info@nsmba.ca with a photo and location as well.
