Trail Crew Report Aug 27th: Last week the trail cr

Trail Crew Report Aug 27th: Last week the trail crew finished the Sherwoody re-route, reworked Today’s Special traverse, and updated trail signage with fresh boot brushes.

This week the trail crew will be shifting gears to work on local hiking trails, including Mt. Proctor and Heiko’s trail. Not without some mountain bike trails too, the crew will be brush-cutting and tuning up 6 Mores Days.

The Thursday Night Work Party will take place on 6 More Days at 6pm! Meet at the Castle Mountain Parking lot along Coal Creek/River Road. With the days getting shorter, the trail crew will be leaving sharp. See you then!

Meet the Trail Crew: Nik Dunn

Born and raised Fernie local, Nik Dunn, has been an integral part of Trail Development in Fernie for nearly half a decade. After 4-years working for Fernie Alpine Resort, Nik is now one of five key trail members on this year’s trail crew.

Helping to improve trail quality and adding new trails, Nik pulls inspiration from coastal trail networks and interior riding zones, including Revelstoke and Castleguard.

Some of Nik’s favourite trails and places to ride include: “Boondocker in Revy, Old Rio in Kamloops, and Patch Works at Mt. Prevost.”

Look for Nik out on the trails with either a shovel (and chainsaw) or on two wheels!

Check out these epic shots from the builder behind

Check out these epic shots from the builder behind 6 More Days showing off the new drop they're building near the top of the trail! 🙌 It's almost done, but not quite ready to ride yet 🚧 Please admire the radness from a distance and respect the closure — the landing needs a few days to firm up and the builders will need to give it a test run before it's open. Thanks for keeping the stoke high and the trail safe!

Stay tuned for the opening date.
