Mission trail conditions: December 2007
The trails on Bear and Red Mountains in Mission usually have a dump of snow on them at this time of the year but, as of yesterday, things were pretty decent. If you’re out on either of the two mountains, feel free to post up trail conditions using the comment boxes below this entry.
Red Mountain
There was a skim coat of snow at the base of the hill with about 10cm near the trailhead. We didn’t ride the xc course.
Arduum. The trail is in decent shape. There are a few mucky areas left over from the race, but lots of water mitigation work has been done since then. If you’re familiar with the trail, keep your eye out for a couple of new features — they’re definitely not something you’d want to hit without a preview!

Bear Mtn is full of snow right now which isn’t so bad, BUT, THERE IS A TON OF DEAD FALL on the trail and the road up (Saunders). The trail is unrideable right now until it gets cleaned up.I only had a hand saw with me so I will get up there with a chainsaw in the next couple of weeks when the snow has gone away a bit more. I imagine the conditions will be the same up on RED. Luckily for us we have other great venues to go and play in!!!
Will post when I am going up to do this but it will probably be on short notice.
Cheers!!
