The best time of year for XC riding in Golden starts in September. The official Moonraker trail crew and the unofficial volunteers have been improving the trails all summer, the blazing heat is finished, the autumn colours are emerging, and best of all, the bugs are dead. There are over 50km of trails on this expanding network, the first dusting of snow is on the surrounding peaks, and recent rain has made the trails tacky and smooth.

No other Bike Park in BC is growing at the rate of Kicking Horse. New features and trail improvements go up weekly and word is getting out. Rider numbers have grown 100% in the last two years, and are on target for another 50% growth in 2009! That's pretty impressive for a recession. But there are still almost no line-ups. This mountain is so huge that riders are spread out and rarely interfere with "flow". With two more months left in the season, come see what all the fuss is about.

Kicking Horse Bike Park at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort has been going through extensive trail renovations and improvements for the last two years. 2009 promises to be the best season ever. Each run starts from the highest elevation of any Bike Park in Canada, high in the Purcell Mountain's alpine. See the Beginner/Intermediate video to whet your appetite.
