Winter Trail Season in West Bragg Creek
Winter can arrive anytime after September in West Bragg Creek and this year’s first snowfall on October 4 was a good reminder that the season is near! Our team has been busy mowing trails and servicing equipment to prepare for the months ahead.
Once conditions allow, grooming will begin to build a solid ski base. After November 1, please follow winter trail etiquette; no walking or riding on ski only trails. Some singletrack routes are groomed for fat biking and remain open for walking and snowshoeing, while equestrian routes shift to designated winter trails to protect groomed surfaces.
With everyone’s cooperation and care, our shared trail network runs smoothly all winter long. Follow posted signage, check maps, and stop by the BCT Trail Centre to chat with our friendly volunteer Trail Hosts.
