Brendan Howey joins Jesse Munden at his home resort, Sun Peaks Bike Park, for a series of shred sessions. The result: an edit where their styles speak for themselves. Watch as they get behind the bars of their CLASH and ride it in its element.
Over the past few years, women of all ages have taken the bike trails by storm, transforming what was once a male-dominated sport. Here at Sun Peaks Bike Park, among the roots, rocks, and drops, we’re thrilled to have witnessed this change first-hand.
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.
If flow is in the eye of the beholder, Ron Penney of Landmark Trail Works holds it to the highest standard. In a quest to strip away the self-imposed limits on our riding, Landmark offers a simple solution: a trail that teaches us to ease off the brakes and trust the shapes of the dirt.
Long before we can lose ourselves in a flow state, we must first find it.
Enhancing access to that flow is central to Jeff Cook’s vision as he leads the Lifetime Outdoor team in shaping dirt waves that invite riders of every style to discover and define their own rhythm. “Everything you want in a flow trail and a mountain bike park, you have it here in Sun Peaks now.”
Mountain biking in Sun Peaks takes on a whole new scope this summer, with trails delivering world-class riding across all three mountains for the first time. A $1.5-million joint investment from the resort and community will boost capacity and further diversify an already revered trail network.
Happy Canada Day from Sun Peaks Bike Park!
With trails ranging from flowy, machine-built cruisers to fully pinned DH singletrack, plus our carpet lift-access Progression Park, riders of every level will find a new favourite trail in Sun Peaks.
Our newly rebuilt jump trail Steam Shovel is now open! With two Bonus Weekends of riding on September 7 - 9 and 14 - 16 (10am-7pm), there's still time to shred while the dirt is prime. Come get it!
