Nov 25: A mid-week cold front left a dusting of 2cm of snow on the WBC trails. That was just enough to cover the dry dirt and icy sections on the trails. Most trails were dry before this snow, with ice patches in the shaded areas. The wide XC trails and a few sheltered trails, like Snowy Owl have a hard packed snow or ice base under the new snowfall. Expect slippery surprises until the new snow melts, or gets packed down by trail users.
At any time come prepared for a variety of conditions and note that the days are now growing shorter. You may want to consider bringing headlamps, hiking poles, microspikes, toques, gloves and multiple layers.
To protect the trails from damage, please try to stay off the trails if they are very soft.
The Bragg Creek Trails group asks users to check their website for detailed condition reports before choosing their route. Ensuring you are using the correct trails at the correct times, helps to preserve trail tread and aids in preserving the hard work of volunteers and staff.
