Tinder

Tinder is a fun xc-style trail that links Fred with Your Mom. It begins through a clear-cut with a mix of downhill and uphill sections. On the uphills, there are several routes available that give you the option to wind around the steep stuff, or to power directly up and over them. From the higher points along here, you’ll find great views of Howe Sound and the surrounding mountains. After passing the cut-block, big bermed turns welcome you to the forest, and the speed picks up again as you meander down. The trail briefly re-opens into a cut-block with some optional jumps before heading back into the forest for the final climb.
