Notes From Trail Crew
Thanks to the Kootenay Adaptive Sport Association for joining us in the Bike Park this week. We had the chance to look at some of our trails, chat about where they would fall within the adaptive trail rating standards, and discuss ways we can make Sun Peaks Bike Park more accessible for aMTB riders. For more info about KASA and their offerings (rentals, programs, and experiences) click here.
Canada Cup race weekend is here! Along with closures of the race course trails, Sweet One and Bermalade will have alternate exits this weekend due to the new race course finish area. Please be aware of changes and respect any trail closures. Good luck to everyone racing!

Notes From Trail Crew
Recent rain and cooler temps have seen the fire danger rating drop – yay! Shout out to the Sun Peaks Resort Slopes Crew who have been a huge help this week. With machinery shut down earlier in the week due to the fire danger rating, they have been lending a hand on the bike trails alongside Trail Crew. Thank you!

Notes From Trail Crew
With the fire danger rating currently at ‘Extreme’, Provincial restrictions prevent us from working with machines or chainsaws at this time. We are looking forward to getting back to work on the new trails as soon as it is safe to do so. We appreciate your patience while we wait for cooler temps and rain!
