Well, about everything in merritt is super super good right now..98/99 at the top of iron mountain are both super super mint with some nice tacky dirt, having the snow just gone away in the past month. everything further down such as too much info and godie are also super super good, and godie has all the deadfall cut out and good to shred. Swakum mtn on the opposite side of town heading out toward kamloops is dry, but amasingly fast and flowy, definently a must for anyone into more bermy, jumpy, fast trails.

Just figure I'd update anyone that was planning on a trip or stopping through..happy trails!

Iron Mountain = the sicktor! it's right up your alley Lee.

the hardest part was finding the right road to drive up.

Props to the two young dudes schlepping 2x4's up the trail to rebuild the trail nazi'd bridges!

the trails were in amazing condition this weekend after the rain as well. probably one of the better times to be shredding up the interior!

Does anyone know if Hornet up on Iron Mtn is still rideable. Last time I rode it was about 5 yrs ago. Has it been maintained?

the top has been kinda roughed up, I am not sure if anyone has been up to clear some stuff this year, especially with a lot of people focussing on other trails in the area. sure is a good ride though!

New update:

Dry and dusty everywhere. We did however do some serious trimming on all of godie recently and it is in super good shape. All of iron is still good for shreds..just space out a bit more and wear goggles!
