It’s been 166 days since the Moose Mtn road closed for winter, taking away access to our beloved singletrack.  We’ve endured a long winter, and we’re all excited that May 15th is finally upon us.  That’s right – the date that the road opens every spring for vehicle traffic.  This spring, Mother Nature hasn’t been as kind as in recent years, and parts of the winter snowpack still remain in areas that don’t get a lot of direct sunlight.  Add to that, the fact that Kananaskis has received snow this past Tuesday, Thursday, and as recently as this morning, and what we have is a mess!  That’s right, Bragg Creek residents had to brush the snow off their shuttle trucks this morning in order to get out of the driveway for the long weekend.

This winter has been revolutionary for the Calgary and area mountain bike community. With the record cold snaps and the trails buried under snow for the past 5 months a group of builders and riders have come together to organize and begin building a relationship with the Alberta government.

A network of riding buds have been hard at work for close to ten years; And the work done this winter has given way to the creation of the Moose Mountain Bike Trail Society (MMBTS). Read the rest of this entry »

Riders of Moose Mountain,

Big News towards the stewardship of our trails! 
On January 20, 2009 a meeting was called by the builders /riders of Moose to discuss and form a “plan of action” towards the progress of our trail network and community.  Timing was right to get organized and form a not for profit Society and to be a unified voice for our trails.  The established Society is to include both the DH and XC communities and has been registered as a Not for Profit organization
