Please RSVP below. 

How difficult is the trail? 

The climb up the hill is approximately 2.3 km on well groomed switch backs and will get your heart pumping. It typically takes between 20 - 40 minutes to complete depending on the age and ability of the rider. The downhill trails are classified as blue and have bumps and berms to challenge riders. If your athlete has never participated in downhill mountain biking before they may find this to be a challenging ride and require the support of a parent or guardian.

Just as in skiing, there is a potential for injury and parents and athletes should take careful note of the details outline the waiver on the WMBA website.

Can athletes ride without a parent or guardian? 

Only athletes who are experienced riding the mountain bike trails should ride without a parent or guardian. All athletes U10 years of age must be with a parent or guardian regardless of ability.
