IMBA Trail Care Crew visit

Just confirmed with IMBA for a trail care crew visit to Spokane on September 25-26. As part of the Trail care crew visit there is a Trail building school which includes both classroom and field instruction. This is a great opportunity for people who want to learn proper trail building technique in a fun environment.

The last Trail School was very successful and built a fun trail leading into the Skills Park at Beacon (named the IMBA trail).

Here's some pictures from the last Trail Care Crew visit

Wall Ride

The new wall ride at Beacon is almost finished! Dirt will be added at the bottom of the wall ride to transition between the wood and the trail.



It is located on the Kessel Run trail which we are adding expert DH lines to. Beginners can still ride the existing Kessel Run trail since the expert lines split off from the main trail and are optional.

Beacon BBQ

Come enjoy a FREE BBQ hosted by the Fat Tire Trail Riders Club on May 23 at Camp Sekani! There will be prize giveaways (thanks to the Bike Hub).

Everyone is invited, whether you’re interested in building trails, learning more about Beacon Hill or just having a good time with other mountain bikers.


FTTRC’s main focus is trail-building and is very willing to work with riders to build trails. We believe in having trails for all ability levels and types of riding. Some of the projects still to come include technical DH trails, more XC routes, a downhill jump line, a pump track, easier tabletop jumps, a Freeride trail, more features in the skills park and more jump lines in the jump park. If you have an idea for a trail or feature just talk with us.

FTTRC needs more support in order to complete all these trail projects. There are several ways you can help. You can support us by making a donation, helping build trails, becoming a member, or buying a Beacon trail map.
