Welcome to Silver Star, where we have been running our chairlift for mountain biking since 1991, holding world-class events since our World Cup DH/XC in 1994, and have been blazing a trail in the mountain bike industry ever since.
Check out why Silver Star is famous: play on our great trails! There’s everything from gnarly single track to scenic paved paths that wind peacefully through the sub-alpine forest. Our five dedicated staff members are busy planning the new trails and sculpting bike park features to make sure there is something for all levels of riders.
 
The Comet Six Pack Express is Canada’s largest mountain bike lift, taking bikers to 1,600 vertical feet of great riding terrain. The high-speed detachable lift is fitted with roll-on bike carriers and has a ride-time to the top of just under 8 minutes. Grab your bike from the ever-so-friendly lift attendant, strap on your armour, and get ready for action.

June 8th

Hello All,

Wow what a week!!!! Last week we had temperatures up to +30 and this week we had rain and snow, I could have taken my kayak down Rock Star (just kidding) we actually really needed the rain and I have never seen the trails in such good shape...EVER!!!! Everything is now buffed from hub 1 down and it is only the top of the upper trails that actually have snow on them. The new World Cup pump track section at the bottom is now complete it is....CRAZY, I had the opportunity to ride some of it on the weekend and I was quickly humbled....it is so much fun but super tech!!!!

This week we have started a new section of Dags Downhill, the idea with this is to separate Dags and World Cup so they are 2 entirely different trails instead of merging after the step up the way they always have. This trail is mainly hand built and we are trying to keep the same flair as the upper part only a little less rocky. This concept will come into play with holding races/events as it will allow us to use Dags and leave every other trail on the resort open without any interruptions. This new section has an in-ground berm on it that we call the G-Ride.....it is massive!!! It was not finished at the time of this report so sorry no pictures until next week.

The other big news of the week is lower pipe dream (all the pictures are from this section, except the hip that we did a re&re on from last year) I can guarantee you one thing......you have never seen berms and hits like this at any other resort, we actually have one that looks like an in-ground swimming pool!!!!! OFF THE HOOK!!!! We had a young buck step up to the plate this year as a operator for Lowes Hoes....he is a rider and has an eye for the fun stuff if you know what I mean....he is absolutely killing it!!! I wont promise 100% but we are doing everything we can to ensure this trail is open for June 23. That is all for now, have a great weekend.... only 15 more sleep then.......MAYHEM!!!!!

Cheers Rick and Cam
