An additional 10cm of wet snow fell on Easter Monday (April 21), further saturating the trails which were already prone to damage. The most sun exposed trails will dry out over the next week, but will have many wet and muddy sections. The more shaded trails will take longer to dry out. Please avoid travel on trails if you are leaving ruts or visible footprints. Check individual trail reports for updates.
It is spring transition time at the West Bragg Creek trails. When there is a good overnight freeze, the wet dirt will firm up enough to provide good travel conditions for early morning rides or hikes. But if there is only a short period of freezing or no overnight freeze, the trails will be soft or muddy all day. Travel 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. For most of the day, you should anticipate wet and soft conditions.
