Riders wanted
"It's a great area for mountain riding. We've got trails that go up to the Telkwa range, the Dungate meadows and Morice mountain. Most of our trails go up to the top of a hill and open up to wide ranges to ride on. It’s pretty mountainous up here but there's still a wide range of steep terrain, lots of gullies and alpine meadows."
—John Bodner, North Star Performance |
