Video RMR announces new mountain bike trails set to open this summer

On June 4, the gondola will start spinning, and Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) will open the lower mountain for mountain biking. This summer, RMR has added updates, changes, and extensions to trails within the Resort, in addition to four new lower mountain trails and two new blue technical trails on the upper mountain in the works.

RMR says they have four new trails in the works on the lower mountain — a green flow trail, two blue technical trails, and a black technical trail.

RMR describes Salad Fingers, the green flow trail that is just over four kilometres in length, as mellow in grade and overall fun.

Also being added to the resort’s assemblage of trails is Dust Punk – a black technical trail RMR describes as a staff favourite with a bit of everything crammed into the 600-metre descent.

Trail crews have also added notable changes to End Game to create a proper black jump line on the lower mountain. These changes include replacing the high-speed straight sections with more jumps, tables, sharkfins, and a wallride.

Slated to open June 25 this summer, Boggy Bagpipe and Macht Schnell are two blue tech trail additions to RMR’s upper mountain.

Boggy Bagpipe is a 0.9km trail that offers a technical descent through the forest. This descent will also allow trail crews to close and address drainage issues on the popular trail, Bagful of Boogie, when necessary.

Macht Schnell, German for “hurry up,” winds through the Aspen Glades above Revelation Lodge and is 1.0km in length. RMR staff say that the trail is rated as blue but is suitable for intermediate to advanced riders and is a good stepping stone towards black technical trails.

Resort trail crews will also add 1.0km to the already existing trail, Doomsday, to create a complete black flow trail on the upper mountain. The Resort says they intend this extension to be open for riding in July.
