Just got back from one of the best and most fun muni trips of my
life, in the South Chilcotin Mountains of BC. This area has long been
known to locals as a worldclass place for alpine mountain biking,
through gorgeous alpine bowls, ridgetops, and glaciated alpine peaks.
There were also some great shots of the area in the bike video The
Collective, if you've seen that. Located about 30 km northwest of Pemberton BC (north
of Whistler) this area is amazing in that it is mountainous and remote,
with spectacular glaciated peaks, yet unlike most of coastal BC it has
an extensive trail network thanks to a generation of wranglers grazing
horses up the valleys. These trails can be used to access sometimes
trail-less yet completely rideable ridge tops and valley system
singletrack extending way into the wilderness. Here's some info written by friends on the trip: Some videos (nos. 101-106)
