April 16th: Trails will be wet or snow covered today with rain or snow expected this weekend. When there is a good overnight freeze, the snow tread or wet dirt will firm up enough to provide good travel conditions for early morning rides or hikes. If there is only a short period of freezing or no overnight freeze, the trails will be soft or muddy all day. Travel on soft, slushy snow and especially on wet, muddy trails can lead to trail damage. Check the WBC weather station before heading out, to confirm that there was a sufficient overnight freeze for early morning trail use.
Cross Country ski:
The wide XC ski trails retain their snow or ice base longer and are a good option for hiking, when the single track trails are too muddy. All trails are multi-user after April 1.
Hiking/Snowshoeing/Fat biking
The single track trails are a mix of packed snow, slushy snow and muddy areas. The most sun exposed trails will dry out over the next week, but will have wet and muddy sections. The more shaded trails will take longer to melt and dry out. Please avoid travel on trails if you are leaving ruts or visible footprints. Check individual trail reports for updates.
At any time come prepared for a variety of conditions. Be sure not to overestimate your ability when planning your trip: Humility can be a lifesaver. Bring plenty of water, snacks and multiple clothing layers.
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.
