Hi Guys, we need to your help to save a trail in Bromont.
As some might or might not know there's a new project from "Bromont Immobilier" who want to sell the last lands on the mountain so news houses will be built, it's called the "Val 8" and it's now house of some awesome trails.
A couple associations in Bromont are working hard so this project will be cancelled and he land will be protected. During this negociation time, SkiBromont made it forbidden to ride the trails in the "val 8" area.
While lots of poeple listened and stopped going to ride there when all this started, the negociations turned to a dead end. Nobody seeing things getting clear, poeple started riding the trails again...
We just learned that SkiBromont asked his trail crew to go in the "Val 8" area on monday (June 29th) and simply destroy one of the best trails there, the trail named "No Name" for those who know.. The trail destruction is nothing more than a revenge/power-ego-trip against the riders because they're not respecting the trails closure...
We don't know how to prevent the trail destruction, for sure riders are not innocent in this story but the reaction from SkiBromont is just a stupid power trip considering A-the land will be destroyed anyway if new houses are to be build, or B-the trails are going to be official if the land is protected..
Thanks for spreading the word, the way I see it is, the more poeple think and say it's a bad decision, the more SkiBromont will understand this is no good advertising for them. I know the SkiBromont marketing dept is quite active on Pinkbike forums, feel free to go there and say how you feel about all that. (you'll see some messages I posted there, they are in french but it basically says the same thing as what I'm saying here, just ways shorter...)
