Top of the World
Elevation: 2,080m
Every summer Sun Peaks, British Columbia’s second-largest ski resort, transforms into a world-class downhill biking haven that rivals the best. Picture 2,000 vertical feet of lift-access terrain, deep in the BC interior, just 45 minutes from Kamloops, where 40 well-crafted trails for all ability levels meet a passionate, friendly community of riders.
Don’t just take our word for it—pro mountain biker Matthew Tongue claims:
“Sun Peaks though, might actually be the best bike park in all of BC. Yes, even better than Whistler.”
Whether you're searching for mountain biking near Kamloops, chasing your first flow trail, or itching to drop into a pro-level tech line, these five picks highlight the top flow trails in Sun Peaks Bike Park, selected for rider reviews and progression potential. And while this list leans into the smooth, flowy side of the park, it’s worth noting that Sun Peaks is also home to a diverse range of technical trails, especially on Mt. Tod where challenging classics like Sugar and Sweet One keep seasoned riders coming back for more.

Bermalade – The People’s Choice for Flow
• Level: Intermediate (Blue Flow)
• Distance: Mid-mountain flow
Built for speed and smiles, Bermalade delivers endless machine-built berms, rollers, and optional jumps. Ideal for confident beginners and intermediates looking to progress.
“The berms were sometimes technical and beautifully radiused, but the jumps were next level. The take offs were steep but predictable and the landings were nice and long so everyone could have fun. In fact I was amazed at how many expert level riders were lapping these blue flow lines, or I was until I got a few laps in myself.”
