It was all good. Gate was wide open and no one was there. I might also be going late Sunday afternoon.

I was just there in August 2011 it is very fun, and still open. Yet there still are a lot of jerks around.

Just checked out Irricana on the weekend. They are working in there, ground is all ripped up and a few big piles of gravel. There were also a couple of excavators and a weigh scale. Looks like that will be the end of that riding area.

I drove out there today , April 8, 2012, there were a few people out riding. Looks like they are still pulling gravel out. They have leveled and even lowered what used to be grasslands. The pit and hill are still untouched.

Hi Everyone,

I work for the company that owns this land and wanted to give a heads up... IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY.
That being said, it is more and more constantly patrolled by CN Police & hired security (as more incidents/vandalism is being reported) and because we do/will have crews working in that pit.
As far as I have knowledge of anyone caught by the CN Police, will recieve ONE WARNING.
Your information will be entered into their database and if you are caught a second time, you will recieve a ticket for trespassing. :thumbsdown:

I recently even had to kick some of my friends out of there. Booo!!
So anyways, keep that in mind. I dont want to see any other riders day ruined with a ticket.
And I also don't want to spend any of my own time out there trying to find a stolen GATE!?!!

Thanks guys... but ya gotta find somewhere else to ride for now.

Does any one here have a current report on the PIt as to open closed are they cracking down? I have been out twice this year and the gates have been closed. I like the area as it is close and good place to teach the kids. Any one with info please let me know...

Thank you
