Bring on the snow! More Winter has arrived at the West Bragg Creek trail network! Although the trails have been in great shape this season (thanks to our volunteers), the little snow that we have had this season has proven to test our equipment. With technical difficulties in January and February, we are happy to announce that Erica, the Snow Rabbit, was once again hopping in the snow at the end of February. The conditions are fabulous and there are many happy faces out on the trails, including the groomers!
A special thanks to our generous supporters over the last month including James and Brenda Mackie, Arc’teryx, and the many individual donations that we received to ensure our groomers are warm, our equipment is in good shape and the trails are maintained so we can all enjoy them.
Things to watch for in March: West Bragg Creek is excited to welcome the 10th annual Alberta Youth Championships from Mar 3rd to 5th, hosted by XCBC. With a few interruptions, they are back this year with participants from Yellowknife, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Come out and cheer on these young athletes!
Some new spring and summer swag will be launched with fresh new designs. Make sure you get your orders in early for the custom MTB jerseys so you don’t miss the new addition. We wouldn’t want your BCT collection to be missing one of the ‘limited edition’ jerseys that prove you are a diehard supporter of the trails.
We are planning a few events, including what has become a favorite; monthly gathering to talk trails. Come out and learn about what we do, how we do it and make some new friends. Watch for announcement in our newsletter and on the website for upcoming events in Bragg Creek, Cochrane and Calgary. We are currently preparing for the summer season, looking for trail volunteers once the snow melts. We are also looking for Communications volunteers so if you love hanging out on Instagram and Facebook, enjoy our jokes, or want to write articles and take pictures of all the great things happening at Bragg Creek Trails please reach out.
Have a great March everyone!
