BIKE PARK

People don’t come to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort to ride the same old thing. They come for the differences, and we have plenty. What this means is over 3,700 feet of variety!

The start of it is the view from the alpine launch which is dominated by the three mountain ranges that surround the park, and the wetlands of the Columbia Valley. From there it is all downhill where the wahoo factor is amplified by multiple berms, jumps, wooden features (Stickrock has to been ridden to be believed), rock slabs (look directly below the gondola to see the longest) and plenty of good ol’ white-knuckle singletrack. The only thing missing is crowds, but we suspect you won’t mind that.

UNIQUE ALPINE RIDING

Discover some of the most accessible alpine riding in North America

Accessed by single scenic Gondola ride, the Kicking Horse Bike Park offers one of a kind alpine riding, offering all types of trail in an alpine meadow surrounded by majestic mountain vistas. Trail bikes are welcome, as we have everything from easy, buffed single tracks to rocky, rooty technical descents, to smooth machine built flow trails. Want more? Pedal back up through "Excalibur", our new uphill track. Discover more by watching the video below.

FEATURE RIDES

EASY

Get a taste of the KHMR bike park by riding the Catamount chair up and taking It’s a 10 to Easy Rider. Once you have mastered these trails try out Superberm and Buffalo Jump before heading up the gondola. This combination of machine built trail and single track will give you an idea of the big mountain experience waiting for you at the top of the mountain.

MEDIUM

Take in the view from the top of the gondola before starting down It’s a 10. From there choose either Dragon Chaser for turny and pumpy or Pipestone for rough and rocky. Next jump on Chute to View for a quick rip through the sub alpine. Make sure you go left at the split to make it to the top of Magic Carpet Ride. This trail winds its way into the tree line with several challenging corners before crossing the road and continuing on our newest section of trail. Next drop into Road Runner and then hit the wall rides on Trappers Trail. Finish with the always popular Super Berm all the way to the base.

HARD

So you’ve ridden all the greens and blues. The first trail off It’s a 10 is Northern Lights. It was built by animals so it is straight and fast. Continue down Dirt Devil for more high speed tech. From the base of the Stairway to Heaven chair check out Time Travel for steeper, tech riding with optional old school skinnies. This trail joins with Magic Carpet Ride so continue down there to the top of Blaster. Blaster is mostly small jumps and big berms with a bit of technical riding to keep it interesting. From the bottom of Blaster the choices become more difficult (or easier depending which way you look at it). If you like old school tech check out Pioneer for steep rock slabs, roots, and chutes. If wood work is your thing and it hasn’t rained recently head down Trappers Trail to Stick Rock and L.Y.M. If your hands needs a break and you need some air time cruise Trappers Trail to Swamp Donkey and the Jump Zone (via Super Berm).
