Despite inconsistent messaging, CBC is still officially CLOSED for the winter season. Trailforks reports alone can be inaccurate and misleading on trails that see this kind of traffic since anyone can post them. Please refer to the footnote on this webpage for official trail status and stay off until Metro gives the green light for the summer! www.metrovancouver.org/services/parks/parks-greenways-reserves/lower-seymour-conservation-reserve.

Not to be overly judgmental, as I've certainly been guilty of dropping in to the odd closed trail in years past ... but I order to shuttle up to CBC this past weekend, you had to drive past the huge yellow sign with black lettering that clearly states "CBC closed". Pretty unmissable. Being that the sign is posted by BC Parks, within the park boundary, one has to conclude that takes precedence over any 'inconsistent' messaging from a crowdsouced app like Trailforks!

@@bikemanic Metro (LSCR) is the landowner, not BC parks. There was a lot of other information out there when this was filmed (such as local builders riding CBC and sharing stories, a big group shuttling CBC publicly for the official Ned's opening ride, and designated official reporters on Trailforks marking it as open), and we didn't shuttle. It's time to move on and use this as an educating moment on how to accurately verify trail conditions through ONLY the official LSCR link above.

@@hummer694life Jerry, please refer to our Facebook conversation on how trail signs are not always encompassing of a trail's actual status (ex: The Hydrocut). Whether or not you agree with my justification based on the available information is up to you, but this is no longer (and truthfully never has been) a productive conversation together. If you truly know that a trail is closed then I agree that it is as simple as not riding it in the first place.

@@DaleStone As I said, I was not trying to be judgmental but rather open a respectful discussion. I don't think "time to move on" and "use this as and educational moment" are consistent with each other. Also, CBC pretty much straddles the boundary of Mt Seymour Park and the LSCR and thus some parts are in the BC Parks domain. Neds is, of course, entirely within the LSCR. FYI, I spent a lot of time working on the first revival of CBC back in the early 2000s, when Jeremy Power was leading the refurbishment as part of NSMBA work, so I'm very familiar with the boundaries and ownership issues. What's important to remember is that much of the upper part of CBC is in a riparian zone, and thus opening the trail isn't a simple "snow is gone, yay, let's ride" decision. The soil is saturated in spring and needs time to drain and become stable before it opens - as determined by the land managers.

Been waiting for Ned's to re-open! (Was sneaking into CBC quite a bit over the fall last year) But...broke my shoulder skiing so it'll likely be 2024 before I ride it. Sigh. Which is why it was so great to see the whole line from CBC right on down in Technicolour here! Cheers. Looks so super smooth and fast and flowy (big step up from the jangly rock bed it had become). But that might just be the rider... ;) Thanks for the great vids.
