which trail is almost clear? Last time I was out by Syringa 3 weeks ago I was amazed at how little snow there was. Dying to ride my bike!

The lower trails at Kokanee Creek are almost good to go, probably another week of warmish weather and some rain will do it.

Skatteboo Reach trail is clear from Glade to at least the Thrums bluffs… there is snow on the fire road from the creek crossing until the trailhead, but that's where the fatty excels… but you can do it on a regular trail bike, just takes a bit more effort to get through the snow.

I heard that Dirty Dreams (bottom of Awakener) is close to being clear as well. I am going to go check it out this week hopefully.

They are having a fatbike race this weekend in the Mac.

is going big on a bike the only way to get you stoked on the sport? what happened to riding with your bros, travelling, and riding unique places, to get people stoked on riding?

fines are useless. there needs to be more punches to the throat.

That picture was taken after 'commuting' from my local. :lol:
fatbikes is fun for anyplace. Excellent for bar usage due to low speed balance.
