Why Mount Washington Bike Park dries this way
Terrain & soilMount Washington Bike Park (Comox Valley, BC, Canada) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. At 5,174 ft, Mount Washington Bike Park rides NE-facing ground that catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day; the rolling grade, around 5.5° on average, drains steadily rather than pooling.
