Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) is spending the spring fine-tuning the biking trails before summer season officially begins Friday, June 6. The resort focused last year on sections of Fifty Six Twenty, the trail that runs the full 5,620 feet vertical of the mountain, including reopening the Aspen Glades section. Crews will continue working their way up the trail this spring, fine tuning features and upgrading sections for performance.
“While we aren’t adding any new trails to our network this summer, our Trail Crew will focus their efforts on maintaining high-quality trail conditions and enhancing the overall bike park experience,” Laura Meggs, RMR communications manager told Revelstoke Mountaineer.
Crews will also be working on Bagful of Boogie to refine the main ride lines and build up berms with a focus on creating another trail that riders can long-term progress on.
Opening of the upper mountain is scheduled for June 21, and first rides on the Stoke Climb, Mac Ridge and upper section of the Fifty Six Twenty will be dependent on snowmelt in the coming months.
Newer riders and those looking to build on their skills will have the option of RMR’s various Mountain Bike School courses including Discovery and Progression sessions, kids’ camps, Ladies’ Day and private lessons.
“Whether you’re looking to learn the basics or take your skills to the next level, our team is ready to help,” Meggs said.
Plans are still in the works for events on the mountain and in the village this year, with some locally organized bike events earning a spot at the resort. Beloved winter Locals’ Days get a summer twist with 50 per cent off tickets to the Pipe Mountain Coaster. Information for future events and all opening days can be found on the RMR events page.
