📅 Saturday, August 29: 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
📅 Sunday, August 30: 1–4 p.m.

There will be bridge work on the Nervous Shakedown traverse for a couple of days.
The trail will remain open but please beaware and slow down for the trail crew.

Big news! ‘Round the mountain is open! Please follow the trail etiquette: stay on the trail, no dogs, yield to uphill traffic, hikers, bikers and runners only, ride slow. Otherwise have fun and enjoy the views!

Nervous Shakedown is closed for the remainder of the week as we complete some trail work. The new work can be enjoyed soon but for now rather check out Deep Bluff (which is open)!

A friendly reminder that ‘Round the Mountain is still closed as the trail still needs time to dry. Please respect the trail closure. We will provide an update once it’s open for the season!

Your new favourite trail Apocalypse (the upper and lower sections) is currently closed for some trail work. We’ll keep you posted when it’s open again so please respect the closure. In the meantime Auntie Flo was recently brushed amongst others! Huge thank you to all those out brushing and let us know if you’d like to help!

Trail Adopters - now through the next couple of weeks is a good time to brush your trail.
If you’re not a trail adopter, but are interested in helping out please send us a note as we’d very much like your help! On the fence? Even a couple of hours makes a difference, we supply equipment and can help get you set up!
Note that we have cancelled our brushing bee on June 20th but depending on the trail conditions we may reschedule at short notice.

Huge thanks to all the people who made this happen. Go check it out and let us know what you think!

Our new trail Upper Apocalypse built for the 2026 Heavy Petal Enduro (and everyone else) received its inspection today and we are psyched to report that it is now OPEN! It starts right off the top of the Uptrack and exits onto Old Bluff just North of Four Horsemen. Continue down original Apocalypse for a total of 3km of blue descending back to the parking lot! Be aware there is still@some work being done on lower apocalypse and there is still some soft sections on the new upper section. Ride with care and enjoy! Thanks to everyone who helped make this new line a reality!

As of this week, at the Bluff and Ptarmigan areas, only Deep Bluff and Pump Daddy remained closed. With a switch to rainy weather, please remember to watch for changing conditions and, if riding in the wet, ride trails that are likely to hold up better and avoid those that might become too soft and rut up. Trail work is underway on Nervous Shakedown (sneak preview above) and Apocalypse, so please watch out for trail closures associated with ongoing trail work. And please do grab your 2026 SMBA membership to keep supporting what we do - link is in our bio.
