Buffalo Pound is my favorite place to ride in south Sask. Other good places are Wascana Trails, and a place called Turbulls out at Pasqua Lake. Wascana has some fun singletrack, and makes a great racecourse. Turbulls has some really technical singletrack climbs and some really nice flowy downhills and some super technical (for me!) tight up and down twisty singletrack with lots of low overhead trees. I've never riden in Stoon, I've heard there's some nice trails there along the river. I think the first Sask Cup race in Stoon this year is in late June, I'll try to make it to that one.

However, like I said, BP is my fave. The best trail there imo is one called Roots (although there aren't many roots compared to someplace with lots of pine trees). It's a slight downhill with some ~3 foot drops, some log crossings,and some twisty sections all in a dense tree grove. Heaven is good too if you just want to go fast and 'flow'. There is also some new stuff on the south side of the valley accessed by the road with some stupid steep downhill singletrack, one section that I've never tried to ride, it's TOO STEEP! The rest of it is super slow and technical both up and down. If you ride the whole new secion you can come down the 'Big Rock Trail' from the top which is super fun, really twisty and flowy with no super technical secions. None of these new trails have been used in any races... yet, we might try to incorportate them in our 6 hour endurance race coming up next September. One of the other great trails at BP is a downhill section close to Heaven. If you follow the 'Heaven' road till the end of the field you'll notice a trail to the right, it follows the field before dropping into the valley with a steep shoot. From there you enter a tight twisty singletrack climb, followed by a great little downhill with some very tight sections (if you had a 26'' bar it might not fit!) and some 1 foot log drops. It ends with a high speed blast to the main xc ski trail.

Can't wait for the spring, hopefully only another month! If any of you Stoon guys are down if south Sask on a weekend drop my a line and I'll take you to some of my favorite spots.
