The NSMBA, in partnership with Metro Vancouver LSCR, is pleased to officially announce the construction of a new advanced all-mountain trail on Mt. Seymour. The new, as yet unamed trail, will link the bottom of Dale's trail with the Bridle Path.

Construction on the approximately two kilometer long trail has now completed, and the NSMBA will be hosting an official opening event on Friday, July 26th. Starting at 6pm, riders will leave the Old Buck parking lot, and climb the Old Buck and Baden Powell trails to the start of Dale's. After descending Dale's, the trail will be christened with its new name and riders will be treated to a fun, social ride down the new trail. Apres will follow at Seymour's Pub at 8pm.

As an NSMBA member you are elgible to take part in the naming of the new trail, this is a unique opportunity to coin a piece of the North Shore. From now until July 17th, submit your idea for a trail name to info@nsmba.ca. A select panel of judges will select the three best names, which will then be put to a vote. Public voting will be open from July 20th-25th with the winning name being announced at the opening event on July 26th.

Not an NSMBA member? Please become a supporter and help us continue our mission of providing great trails to the people of the North Shore.

We would like to sincerely thank Metro Vancouver LSCR for the enormous amount of support they provided towards the completion of this trail, those who donated to the NSMBA Trails Forever fund, and our dedicated trail builders and Program Manager for making this project a reality.
