Thynne Mountain delivers wide-open riding and big views, but it’s the Tin Shed, a former generator station turned snowmobile shelter, that gives this ride its character. It’s the perfect starting point for exploring Merritt’s flagship riding zone.
HONEYMOON ride guide
Hidden in the Nicola Valley backcountry, the Honeymoon Shelter is a story carved into Merritt’s sledding culture. Built by riders with helicopters, horsepower, and a ton of determination, it’s become a landmark where history, adventure, and community come together.
