Trail Report!

UROC Trail Report Friday June 19th:

Heading into the last weekend of Spring and we have more great news for anyone heading out to ride this weekend. UROC is opening another new trail at Pass Powderkeg! Sasquatch Trail Works with the help of Scott Thornhill’s amazing machine work has made an amazing new blue trail on the east side of PPK. You may have seen this trail being built as you climb up Jiffy Pop, or where it crosses ASG.

There are a couple ways to access this new trail. You can exit Electric Monkey by the berm before where the ‘Trail Narrows’ sign is. Or you can take a right at the intersection on Chainsaw Massacre just above the cliff. You can also access the trail part way down from where it crosses the Dale Stranquist trail, or where is Crosses ASG. Lots of options. When riding any new trail we suggest an inspection run first. This is a blue trail that mixes some technical elements with optional wood features and flow. Currently the trail ends at the intersection of Knotty Flow, but will continue down to Double Dirt by mid next week when the boardwalk work is finished.

In other new trail news, the blue trail that was opened last week (Hard Candy) is now on Trailforks. There is also a very technical rock line to the left of it (Rock Candy) that has some very committing moves, and eventually joins back up with the main trail. Hard Candy is open all the way down now, as the last wet section on the lower part has dried up.

The lower section of Blairmore Witch is getting very close, but not quite ready. Please obey all Trail Closed signs as there may be unfinished features, equipment, or people on trail working. New trails will be open as soon as they are ready.

Next weekend in June 28th will be our annual Poker Ride. We will have details early next week. With lots of new trails, there will be some great new options for that event.

Our trail crew have been busy all week brushing trails, adjusting railing on Buck50, and clearing the lower part of NRA. All the small details that make a big impact.

Looks like it is going to be a great weekend of riding.

Happy Trails!

Trail report!

UROC Trail Report June 5th:

The torrential rains have subsided and we are starting to see the sun again. The trails are drying very quickly as we are lucky to have sandy/rocky soil, and purpose built MTB trails that handle the moisture very well.

This week our Trail Crew kept busy, despite the foul weather. They were able to inspect the trails and improve drainage where needed. They cleared down trees that fell over from the saturated ground. Secret Trail received a tune up and they were able to tackle the skill park, using the recent moisture to reshape the lips of the jumps.

On Saturday, June 6th, there is a great volunteer trail work opportunity for Ed Gregor Stewardship Day. This is a long standing forest stewardship day that offers a variety of different trail and outdoor projects in our community. UROC will be hosting a trail work day on Electric Monkey and Luge, reworking some corners and sections of trail. Tools will be provided. Please bring your own work gloves, sturdy footwear, water and lunch. The day kicks off between 8-9am with a free volunteer breakfast and project registration at the Blairmore Ranger Station. Please check out the poster for all the details.

Bee’s Knees Enduro is selling out quickly. We already have some categories that are completely full, and we will be starting a waiting list soon. If you want to race and have not registered, please do not delay! This year is going to be another amazing event, and we look forward to connecting with all of you for another great weekend of racing in Crowsnest Pass.

Our trails have handled the rain beautifully, and although there are still some areas with surface water, all trails are rideable again. Just note that when encountering a wet or muddy section, please ride straight through it, and do not make the trail wider by trying to ride around it. These wet sections are just temporary, and riding around these sections just makes more unnecessary work for our trail crew.

The weekend looks a bit mixed as far as weather goes, but generally trending in the right direction for a great weekend of riding.

Happy Trails!

Trail report!

UROC Trail Report May 29th:

It has been very hit or miss with the weather out here these last couple weeks, and even if the forecast is only partially right for the next couple days, we are expecting some pretty serious rain for Saturday and Sunday.

The nice thing about the moisture we have been getting is that it has been absolutely ideal for our two trail building crews and they have been carving som beautiful dirt ribbons into the PPK hillside. There has been a lot of positive feedback on Blairmore Witch Project, and we have been able to lay eyes on the other trails and we think you will be very happy when they are ready to be opened.

Our UROC trail crew has almost made it through all of their spring maintenance. This week they were mostly on York Creek clearing the Connector, York with a Fork, Sweet Duanage, and cleaning up the skills park at PPK. In the near future they will start work on repairs for any wood bridges that need some love, or trail sections that need a rework. We are so fortunate to have our own crew to keep on top of the maintenance.

Bee’s Knees Enduro 2026 registration opens on June 1st at 8:00am. We are looking forward to getting this event going for the 4th year! It usually sells out quickly, so don’t delay.

This weekend Sinister 7 is hosting their Vertical Vendetta race at PPK on Saturday. Their running course is going to be heading straight up the T-Bar line on both the upper and lower sections of the mountain. The only section of mountain bike trail they will be using is the one small section of Spare Change that extends from the Bully Road and heads across the Chinook ski run. Just be cautious when crossing the lift line on Spare Change or when riding the last section of Buck50 along the bottom of the ski hill.

Spring weather in Crowsnest is super unpredictable, but the riding today (Friday) should be really good. No guarantee for the rest of the weekend.

Happy Trails!
