"Expert" level is a relative term. Having grown up on the north shore, and
moved up north (and consequently experienced much of what BC mountain biking
has to offer), I would classify many of the trails on the shore as "expert" -
especially as compared to 90% of the rest of the province. This argument comes
up time and time again (ie. build an "expert" trail, and riders say that it
isn't hard enough. Build a "beginner" trail, and riders say that it isn't easy
enough). Difficulty level is completely relative to personal opinion, riding
ability, opinion of oneself, and the type of riding one's used to.
