Park Life

British Columbia is a downhill mountain biker’s playground. Every year new hills seem to be opening up to allow riders to exploit the awesome terrain left unused on ski hills.

We’ve ridden most of them but two of our favorite’s are Kicking Horse Mountain Resort and Panorama Mountain Village.

We’ll start the weekend off at Panorama to ease into things: Panorama offers a wide range of trails but the main reason we come here are the kick-ass blues: fast and flowy sprinkled with smooth stunt lines.

After a day of riding in Pano we head to Golden to rest up for the night before hitting Kicking Horse Mountain on Day 2. This mountain has it all from the fast greens to big-bermed blues and steep black diamonds. There’s no way you’ll leave unsatisfied.

This package is fast-paced and squeezes a lot of terrain into two days. There’s no better way to spend your weekend.

This package includes:

  • Transportation from Calgary
  • One light snack each day
  • Dinner on Day 1
  • One night’s accommodation at Kicking Horse Kabins
  • Breakfast on Day 2
  • Lift pass each day and transportation to and from hills
Cost per rider $499 Book
