Red Mountain Resort in Rossland, British Columbia, launches the second part of its video introduction today, “Standing on the Shoulders of Innovators." It's an ode to the trail designers and builders who have built the lift-serviced bike park that opens June 21.
“A question to ponder: Which came first? The legendary rider, or the legendary trail?" the video existentially asks. "Upon reflection, we have to go with the latter.”

Calling trail builders the "innovators of evolution," the 2.5-minute long video is filled with quick-cut scenes of riders ripping this bermy beauty that has us booking tickets to Rossland. It also shows the workers who have made North America's newest bike park a reality.
"Red isn’t just chasing adrenaline, it’s betting big on four-season adventure. This multi-million-dollar move is about more than bikes: it's tourism, community, and putting Rossland on the map as a year-round basecamp for the outdoor-obsessed. And yes, there’s a shiny new rental fleet at the base, so no excuses if your rig’s in the shop (or if you just want to try something fresh). – Red Mountain Resort
Partnering with Whistler-based trail building company Gravity Logic, the new bike park is designed to appeal to both first-time downhillers and professional athletes.

"Phase One opens with a mix of new and reimagined trails accessible via the Silverlode Chair," reads a Red Mountain press release. "Whether you're new to the sport or a seasoned shredder chasing airtime, there’s a line with your name on it. Red and Gravity Logic have locked in on progression with personality—expect flow, tech, and some spicy hits, all without the mega-crowds.
"This park isn’t here to replace Rossland’s existing trail network, it’s here to amplify it. The town’s already legendary singletrack (thanks to the Kootenay Columbia Trails Society) blends seamlessly with the new lift-served terrain, creating a two-wheeled paradise where you can crank out DH laps in the morning and dive into backcountry loam in the afternoon."
The first phase of the bike park will include the Silverlode Chair that will carry riders 624 vertical feet to the top of the park. Riders then will have a choice of 15 trails: one green, five blues and six blacks. A bike shop, rentals, dining and accommodations are available at the base area.
