| Even though the mountains are still a blanket of whiteness, biking, hiking, and summer fun are on our minds.
We are stoked to announce that our lifts (yes, that’s plural!) will be spinning this summer for lift-accessed biking, hiking, and sightseeing. Opening Day is set for Saturday, June 22, only a few short months away! The Elk Chair will operate daily (open late on Thursdays) and offer downhill bike trails for novices through experts, as well as a wide variety of hiking trails and Nature Bob’s Interpretive Centre. NEW this summer – the Elk Grove Forest Playground! This new playground is an adventure-filled ground-level playground located at the top of the Elk Chair. It promises to be a unique, fun-filled experience for kids and families.
Bike races return with the Fernie BC Cup / Canada Cup DH Race (Dunbar Summer Series) on July 6 & Our Summer Mountain Adventure School will be offering all the favourites – Kids Mountain Adventure Camps, Kids Freeride Bike Camps, Adult DH Clinics, and Specialty Guided Hikes are all back on the summer schedule for 2024. Stay tuned to our website and our social media for details on all of our programs, events, and early bird season pass sale information! |
More exciting news – the Timber Chair will be open for biking, hiking & sightseeing this summer – Saturdays (starting July 13th), along with Holiday Weekend Sundays (Aug. 4 & Sept. 1). The Timber Chair accesses awesome advanced / expert technical downhill terrain (2150 vertical feet!), as well as spectacular alpine hiking and sightseeing. Lost Boys Café (located at the top of the Timber Chair) will be the place to be on Saturday afternoons this summer, enjoying a cold drink and grooving to the tunes at our Music On The Mountain events.
7 and our popular weekly SCOTT Race Series (presented by Dakine). This year, Youth, Adults and Masters will race on Thursday Nights, with the Kids racing on Wednesdays, alongside an exciting new category, ‘Intro to Racing’. If you’re new to the world of racing, our Downhill Development Series offers a welcoming and laid-back environment suitable for all ages, ensuring a fun-filled introduction to the thrill of racing.
