Entering the first singletrack on Mt. Fromme the technical games will begin. Following that some technical climbing along the Baden Powell will bring the riders back for one of a series of significant climbs up the Mountain Highway, an old access road and popular local training spot. These climbs will give the riders an open connection to the legendary trails of the North Shore. Here we will add to our initial descent with a number of newly reworked trails giving speed and flow over the natural rock and root that defines the North Shore.

sweet, another TAP adopter in the works I hope.

or at least some good donations to NSMBA

Red Bull has demonstrated their willingness to contribute to trails. Shore Nelson, anyone?

This is awesome! It's great to see support for trail building for the people by the big guns.

Wear on the Nelsons in Squamish are somewhat self-regulated in that it takes some effort for a lot of people to get up to them, both from the standpoint of location (not in a major urban centre) and some riding or pushing to get to the trailhead. A Nelson trail on the Shore (especially a car-shuttle trail) would require maintenance resources more like A-line in Whistler. More doable on Fromme, but even then usage would be heavy.

I love this suggestion. Given the heavy use Bobsled sees, and the use Half Nelson sees, these style of trails are clearly very popular. What about getting trails like this funded for both construction and maintenance through Kickstarter (or a Canadian equivalent)? I would happily plunk down money to have an experience crew build and maintain a shore Nelson

Seymour under the powerlines would be an ideal spot for a shore aline trail
