Mountain biking in Sun Peaks includes more than just lift-access downhill laps in the Bike Park. For those who like to earn their berms, Sun Peaks offers a growing network of pedal-access riding options.
Closure Notice: October 23, 2025
As of October 23, 2025, the Mt. Morrisey trails are closed for the season. The alpine lift-access trails closed earlier this year on September 29, 2025.
Mountain biking and other activities within the Sun Peaks Resort Controlled Recreation Area (CRA) are not permitted while staff prepare for winter operations.
The Family Man loop remains open. Once the resort opens for winter operations, guests may use this trail with snowshoes and fat bikes.
Thank you to the Sun Peaks Resort Trail Association team for their hard work this season and for providing the Sun Peaks community and guests with such great trails.
ALPINE Lift-ACCESS Trails
High above the Bike Park, West Bowl XC (formerly named Altitude) is a lift-access loop that starts from the top of the Sunburst Express chairlift. You’ll climb through wildflower meadows, forests, and past the peak of Tod Mountain, before reaching tranquil Tod Lake. From there the trail descends back towards the chairlift, where you can connect with Level Up for a fun, flowy ride back to the village, completing 16km of beautiful alpine riding. Looking for a more advanced way down? Connect from West Bowl XC to Sugar and then Sweet One for a rip down some classic Sun Peaks tech.
Big Rock Ride, also lift-access, offers an undulating ride through sub-alpine forests before connecting back into the Bike Park at the top of Sundance Mountain.
Please note: a valid lift ticket or season pass is required to ride any of the Bike Park trails, including Altitude and Big Rock Ride.
Mt. Morrisey and Valley Trails
Outside the lift-access Bike Park, the Valley trail network offers a growing selection of free-to-use pedal-access trails to explore. The Morrisey/Valley pedal-access network is available for use free of charge.
On Mt. Morrisey, experience scenic views and lush cedar forest via a network of five new trails. Cedar Twist, a 6km singletrack climb trail, starts near the base of the Morrisey Express and provides access to the top of Morrisey. Be mindful of hikers while riding, as this is a shared-use trail. Once at the top, you can extend your ride on Sticky Fingers, an out-and-back trail near the peak of Mt. Morrisey. When you’re ready to head down, pick between Calypso Groove, El Diablo, or Stumpwheed for a thrilling descent.
Additional trails exist around Morrisey and elsewhere in the valley, including a mix of singletrack cross country style trails and doubletrack access roads. With trails to suit most levels of rider, they are a great option for an evening pedal or a family ride out to McGillivray Lake. This network is usually ready to ride in early to mid-June and closes when the snow arrives in late October.
Pedal-access trails are developed and maintained by the Sun Peaks Recreational Trail Association, a dedicated group of community trail builders.

always flow: deeper
In the pursuit of creating flow, we’re often focused on pushing it to new heights. Speed and amplitude shape the priority of progression as we carve out our experiences.
But long before Brady Starr of Starr Trail Solutions and Sam Loxton of the Sun Peaks Recreational Trail Association began sketching blueprints for pedal-access trails on Mt. Morrisey, they had a different kind of flow in mind, one that pushed the riding experience to greater depths.
