In Sun Peaks, we're passionate about mountain biking
It was 24 years ago when we first started scraping trails into Tod Mountain by hand. Inspired by the fast emerging scene in the biking mecca of nearby Kamloops, we never imagined we were building the first stages of a world-class bike park. Over the years our trails became steeper and more technical, pushing bikes and their riders to their limits.
While raw singletrack remains at the core of our riding experience, times have changed and the Sun Peaks Bike Park has become a home for all. We embrace the rowdiness that draws core riders and pro athletes here - testing themselves on infamous lines like Insanity One, Gnar-Boom, and Smitty’s Steeps - but like all of us once we hit our mid 20's, we're going through a period of evolution and growth. Our approach is 'come one, come all', as we continue our evolution, adding new trails built for every level of progression, from beginner, to berm-rider, root launcher, and ego-checker!
Next to our original trails on Tod Mountain, a second mountain of adventure opened in 2022. The Sundance Express now hauls riders to the top of a new trail network on Sundance Mountain, which added six new trails and 19 additional kilometers to the Sun Peaks Bike Park riding experience. Instant classics like Stella Blue and Supper Nugget are a hit with those practicing their air time, while we also took advantage of Sundance's friendlier slopes to expand our options for newer riders.
Across the valley, the Sun Peaks Recreational Trail Association (SPRTA) is the driving force behind 15km of new pedal-access, enduro style trails on our third mountain - Mt. Morrisey. This adds to the existing free to access trails that SPRTA has been working on elsewhere in the valley.
If you love life on two wheels, there's nothing holding you back in Sun Peaks. Join us in 2023 to discover your new favourite trail!
WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT
BUILT FOR PROGRESSION
Beginners will love our Progression Park, which gives even the freshest of shredders a taste of lift-access riding via an easy to use carpet lift. When you’re ready to extend your ride, take the Sundance Express to two beginner freeride trails, and with practice the whole network will soon be in reach! Around here, progression isn’t just for beginners. With an extensive network of intermediate freeride and technical trails on both mountains to practice on, and some legendary advanced and expert trails to work up to, you’ll soon be turning heads all over the park.
EMBRACING THE FLOW
Growing from our techy roots are new and improved freeride trails for all ability levels on Tod Mountain, starting with the 9km beginner trail Level Up, to fan favourite intermediate jump trails Canada Line and Bermalade, right up to our legendary advanced trails like Steam Shovel. The six new trails on Sundance include two black, two blue, and two green, sliding into the overall progression rating among existing trails. With a total of 15 flow trails between both mountains, there's berm rides and air-time for all!
STEEP AND ROWDY
For those looking to step it up another notch, our tech trail network has roots, rocks, drops, and rowdiness for all levels, and is built to thrill from top to bottom. From beginner to intermediate, advanced and expert, we have a whopping 23 lift-access tech trails for riders to send it on. Future phases on Sundance will see the addition of singletrack tech to that zone too, paying homage to the original flavour of the Bike Park.
Three Mountains of riding
As the lift-access Bike Park evolves, so does biking throughout Sun Peaks, with a growing network of pedal-access trails spreading across the valley. Riders can now enjoy the views from Mt. Morrisey thanks to the hard work of the Sun Peaks Recreational Trail Association, a dedicated group of community trail builders. New trails on Morrisey include Cedar Twist, a 6km climb trail, and Calypso Groove, a 4.5km intermediate downhill trail, with more new trails on the way in 2023.
