Bridges out on Mount Seymour trails

Thought I'd keep you guys up to date with what's going on with the trails on Seymour (I'm the weekday trail crew). The bridge at Deep Cove Lookout is down - washed away to somewhere (haven't found it yet!). That means a tricky creek crossing to get onto Old Buck/Perimeter, not recommended when there's been rain, and made even trickier at the moment with high snow banks. Also the next bridge down Old Buck is down, probably taken out by the previously mentioned bridge. This has left a wide creek crossing. Again, cross-able with care but not after significant rainfall. I've been busy clearing trees from the trails this week and all seems to be clear now.

I look after:

* Old Buck from the Seymour Road parking lot, up to the end of Perimeter
* BP from parking lot on Seymour Road to just across Old Buck
* A little bit of Bridle Path
* Winter trails up to Brockton Point (including First lake, but not Dog mtn)

The snow is patchy on Old Buck up to the VPA access trail, from then on it's deep and soft in places. Best snowshoe running at the mountain is First Lake/Dog Mtn. The lower trails vary from hard as nails to mushy.

 Happy hiking/running!
