Vernon Jeff’s been talking about building a big fire pit at the nobles parking spot since I met him.
Personal I would not build a big pit there, it will just encourage other asshats to burn their garbage there and turn into another party spot. It’s bad enough they do it in other places in there. Been riding nobels for close to 40 years and a lot has changed in there over the years.
It’s funny. Proper dirt riding at elevation doesn’t really start much sooner here than in Ontario. Lower Nobles (Baconator entrance from the power lines at 7.5KM) Is usual rideable towards the end of March or early April but the road up is usually still a mess. Up from there SoS always has snow on it until mid to end of April. Plus the access double wide in is always a snow mess as well. Everything clear and proper dirt riding doesn’t really start out ther until the end of April or May sometimes.
That said BC MTB does like to get out there early and throw down some Snow-bull laps. Hardcore rider.
Anyone ever do Kal laps and then end at cosens with beer and speakers and firewood stashed (before summer)? Guess the cabins on the lake would make that a heat score?

True. I was riding in late March, even though it was just kinda muddy wall laps, but I was just thankful to be out. Ontario can have almost all trails crap till close to may depending on ground thaw and the snow that year.
riding on Seymour has been great. Does anyone care about Onterrible?
True. About as relevant to vernon conditions as seymour.
Not true. I had some great days on the shore last winter and now, with the coquihalla back up, I’m considering a little trip. You should come.
I like that idea, but it's not helping me now, man! Although with these desert conditions, maybe I should just move to the coast for the rest of the winter.
