Why I Love Sun Peaks: I have been competing in races across BC for over 25 years, and Sun Peaks has always been my favorite bike park. I have watched with pride as it has grown and evolved since my first ride here in 2000. It is a privilege to be back on the team, and to have this amazing bike park in our backyard and share it with others!

Why I Love Sun Peaks: I’m stoked to be a part of the Ambassador Team again. Last year was a lot of fun. It gave me the opportunity to do some really cool stuff, put my riding out there, and get other people stoked on bikes. Sun Peaks is one of the best bike parks because it has everything you could want on a mountain, with no lines and not a lot of tourist traffic. The trails are raw, fast, and so much fun.

Why I Love Sun Peaks: Learning how to mountain bike at Sun Peaks has made me fall in love with biking. There is a perfect variety of trails and progression for every skill level. Every day I’ve ridden at Sun Peaks I have either learnt something new, made a new friend or… seen a bear. These are a few reasons I love Sun Peaks Bike Park.
