CROSS COUNTRY & MTB TRAIL SYSTEMS
We are provincial leaders in the design and construction of XC and mountain bike trail networks. With decades of combined experience, we have the ability to reconfigure and enhance dated or problematic trail systems, and to create new, master planed facilities from start to finish. We pride ourselves on flowing, smooth, well- connected and simple trails that blend into the existing terrain with minimal impact and cater to a variety of users and skill levels.
SITE PLANNING & CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
Our first step in developing a progressive trail network is to immerse ourselves in the terrain to understand the site opportunities and constraints and determine the best possible riding lines. After a thorough analysis of the area including a review of base mapping, soil analysis, feature documenting and GPS route flagging, we will then create a high level conceptual master plan showing all potential trails, hubs and connections for further consideration. Our detailed assessment of topography and environmental conditions will ensure the final trail system is desirable for a range of users and skill levels, is sustainable, has maximum flow, a logical traffic pattern and can be added to for future expansion.
LAYOUT &
CONSTRUCTION
Once the trails have been approved for development, detailed layout and flagging of each section will be undertaken by our team with careful consideration going into every alignment and curve. Our creative approach will ensure sustainability and a minimal impact on the environment by utilizing the best possible configuration of trails based on the site conditions and natural features. We create challenging, progressive trails with simple wayfinding, a smooth surface, and lots of twists, turns and elevation changes to ensure maximum user experience for a variety of users and abilities.
MODIFICATION OF EXISTING TRAIL NETWORKS
Many existing trail systems have been created organically by a combination of staff, volunteers and trail users, completed over time and with good intentions, but often lacking the vision and cohesion of a master planned and executed network. Improperly developed trail networks can create a frustrating user experience that are difficult to navigate with multiple options and intersections and widely-varying styles of built terrain. We can provide solutions to existing trail systems with a simplified layout, reconfiguration of problematic sections, enhanced signage and a unified construction theme that will be noticeable and more enjoyable for all users.
