Gravel on roads, even in summer. Roads are not swept, winter gravel on roads can be there all year.

I assume that's year round cover, not just seasonal. You've the same coverage and discount as I take - lower mainland premiums are much higher than here.

It's year round. I use Intact for comp and of course those other thieving gits for the rest. The brand as well as the displacement affect premium unfortunately and ICBC don't recognise any value in advanced training. They say there is no data to support less risk with a trained driver, it could of course have something to do with no studies being done.

The Crows Nest was awful for rocks all last season, it seems the collect mostly on corners of course and in the track one wants to ride.
