March 31… and it begins.

Cut yer Bars and ESP reportedly open.

Cookie made it through Train Wreck but there's some snow.

Bodkin rode Kill Me Thrill Me.

Don't blame me if you get cold feet - you can always come to Pemberton where it was 22C today!

Cut yer bars is clear from lorimer entrance to the top but then there is snow. I think after the forecast rain it might be clear, so perhaps in a week

I see someone shovelled some bits of IBT and rom our has it most of the Zappa trails are clear. O know someone that said she ran them yesterday maybe 1% snow. I am gong later today to see if it's true.

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

I've heard that from people, just some trees down here and there apparently…KMTM is also good to go

Confirmed. Did all the Zappa trails clockwise from Peaches en Regalia. Only a couple trees down, some already cleared out. A couple spots with snow that wasn't able to ride through. All crossings of groomed xc trails are hard snow.

I figured it was time to start this thread because I'm sure I'm not the only one riding now.

Trash is clear except for a 15ft section of snow near the start of the North end.
The new trail that connects to Trash, Justa 'Nother Trail, is clear. The Sea To Sky Trail from the South end of Trash is mostly clear of snow. Just one or two patches that weren't entirely rideable.

I rode the Lost Lake Zappa trails Monday starting with Peaches through to Jelly Roll Gum Drop and that was all clear. My assumption is that most if not all of the Zappas will be clear very shortly.

I've not ridden but heard that Cut Yer Bars and ESP are clear. As well as Kill Me Thrill Me.

Currently most of my updates come through the BikeCo's FB feed.

Happy riding!

AM/PM and Lower Beaver Pass are clear. You heard correctly regarding CYB and ESP.

If you plan on using Millar Creek Trail to return from AM/PM then be prepared to get whipped in the face by branches a lot.

how's am/pm drying out? I know there's a couple seepage spots that gave us a bit of trouble last spring….the builder has moved to kamloops and I'm in nelson, hopefully someone steps up and keeps it buff!

It was in good condition actually, I was surprised. If you're both no longer there then I'll try and keep an eye on it periodically, I really enjoy the trail, especially when ridden in conjunction with IBT.

I'll prob be back August, luckily I think it's pretty bomber, but it does get hit hard this time of year!

Lost lake single track is clear on every trail. Before this rain it was riding amazing with only a few mud pits.

Trainwreck is 100% clear all the way out and back except for the really fun rock rolls just past the first wreck…
