How to find it
To get to this trail from Fernie, drive towards Sparwood. After passing the dump there will be a slight left hand turn in hwy #3. Turn at the yellow gates on the right and then stay left. Turn right on CBC road. There is a sign for CBC road about 50m from the hwy #3 exit. Follow this to the end of the road, park your vehicle and then bike down down the road you came up for about 50m. You will see the trail on your left. The entrance isn't very obvious since there is tall grass, but the rest of the trail is buff.
If the gate is closed take the road behind the power station by the tembec office. You may need 4x4 to make it up this section.
The trail
This trail has lots of steeps and built up stunts which include, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 ft drops, a table top, 14' tall wall ride to drop, built up berms, a step up, and log ride to drop. Everything is built solid.
A full face helmet, full body armour and DH bike is highly recommended for this trail. The trail is very steep and very technical in a few sections.
Here's a link to an older video of some of the stunts being ridden on Gnomalizer. Quite a work of trail work has been done since this video was made.
