Brodie Blog � Trail Building in Northwestern Ontario – Aaron Casella

"Northwestern Ontario is a rough and dense area to build and ride. The combination of the Canadian Shield and Boreal Forest has created a slice of beautiful land that is unique to anywhere I have traveled. The Canadian Shield makes the foundation but it is the thick undergrowth which gives it its character and its challenges. To build here in NWO it takes time; time to look, time to clear and time to build. The season is short but for four months there is good weather and numerous new trails that are calling out to be found."
