Something big is coming to the Kootenays this summer, and it’s not snow. RED Mountain Resort in Rossland, B.C., one of North America’s top 10 largest ski resorts, is officially flipping the switch on lift-accessed mountain biking with the grand opening of the RED Mountain Bike Park on June 21, 2025. It’s the next bold step in RED’s evolution into a four-season hub for world-class adventure, and it’s going to be a game-changer for mountain bike enthusiasts across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
Built with vision and grit, the RED Mountain Bike Park is the product of a multi-year, multi-million-dollar commitment to create a destination where riders of all styles and abilities can progress, explore and be challenged. Phase One, debuting this summer, unlocks access to a mix of brand-new and reimagined trails via the Silverlode Chair, with flow, tech, singletrack and jump lines designed for everyone from first-timers to seasoned shredders.
This isn’t RED dipping a toe into summer. It’s a full send. With trail design led by Gravity Logic (the same crew behind Whistler and more than 70 bike parks globally), this phased project is packed with purpose. RED is building a bike park where beginners feel like pros and experts can still be humbled. Every trail is crafted for smart progression, letting riders grow their skills lap after lap, season after season.
But here’s what really sets RED apart: this isn’t just a standalone park. It’s a seamless extension of Rossland’s iconic trail network in what’s proudly known as Canada’s Mountain Biking Capital. Home to the internationally recognized Seven Summits Trail—an IMBA Epic—Rossland has long been a pilgrimage site for riders chasing big terrain and even bigger views. The new lift-accessed bike park doesn’t replace this legacy, it amplifies it. Ride lift-served laps in the morning, then drop into alpine epics or handcrafted singletrack by afternoon. Here, gravity and backcountry flow together.
This moment has been a long time coming. For decades, Rossland has quietly built a reputation as a biking powerhouse, producing iconic trails and pro athletes alike. RED’s Bike Park is a celebration of that legacy and a look toward the future. With long-term plans to expand the network across the next four years, including more trails and enhanced connectivity with town and the backcountry, the park is poised to redefine summer in the Kootenays.
The RED Mountain Bike Park opens June 21, 2025. Come for the riding. Stay for the community. Rediscover Rossland, only a 2.5-hour drive from Spokane, as your basecamp for every season of adventure. Plan your trip and stay updated at Redresort.com/bikepark.
