Swansea….A few late fall piks to get the stoke up!!! Its coming!!

Radness

Mount Swansea in Invermere, BC is one of the first zones that we are able to shuttle some DH at once the snow melts, its also one of the last of the year we get to ride with out snow.

Here’s a few piks from one of our last days shuttling last year, started off cold, but ended up being a beauty day!

Keith was stoked at the sight of some white stuff coating the ground in the morning. Every one was seriously questioning my suggestion of riding when we woke up to the snow.

Jewell Pass and Prairie View

Radness

As Bike season comes upon us i have been sifting through some files on the comp and cam across a few that were missed from last year.  Towards the end of the year Myself and good buddy Adrien went and did one of the classic Kananaskis Country loops Jewel Pass and Prairie View.

When Linked up these two sections of trail offer epic views and tons of fun that will put a smile on almost any riders face.

The view from the top of the Prairie view climb.

There is good trail marking on both sections of trail that will keep you from getting lost. Our 2 sweet whips doing some modeling with the signage.

A short section of flat fire road that follows Barrier Lake connects Jewel Pass to Prairie View.

There is a small section of hike a bike just at the top of the Prairie View Climb. as you can see it looks like tons of fun…. but adds some adventure to the ride.

Adrien ripping the jewel pass descent, my favorite part of the whole loop!

yet another epic view from a chunk of Jewel pass.

Adrian on the beginning of the Prairie View descent.

Get out and give this loop a ride, its a great one, if you want to turn it into an epic, add the Hector descent off the last switch back of  the Prairie View fire road climb, then climb back up the fire road again. on your way down the west side of Prairie View turn right and head up Razors Edge for some of the best tech single track the Rockies has to offer.
