Mountain bike review. I was recently up there on August 2nd and 3rd. I was up there last year. But this year I was really disappointed. Firstly a lot of the trails weren't open yet even though they promised they would be open beginning of Summer. And when you get to the top there's not very many options. Gummy bear, barnburner and mach are all blue Trails. I don't know why they are they should be a black. I met a couple people on the trail asking if there was another way down. And I just told him unless they follow the fire road down. Route 66 has clearly not seen any maintenance in a long time. The upper half looks new and is good but once you get to the mid and bottom it is so Rocky and potholes everywhere it's so rough. Steam shovel used to be a really good trail but now they're doing a bunch of work and it seems to be broken up a little bit. And the jumps are way bigger than they used to be. It's clear that they're putting all their time and effort into all these new trails. Which is great but they definitely need to get some people out and do some maintenance on the other trails. Canada Line looks very promising and fun. It will be really comparable to Aline in Whistler. But Sun Peaks keeps advertising that it's a family place and when you have family come up and they have young kids when you get up to the top of the chair there's nowhere for them to go. Even the level up Trail is pretty Rocky with lots of roots. It's not necessarily a beginner Trail. So where else are you supposed to go with your young kids. Sun Peaks bike park needs to take a step back and look at what they're doing. I talked to a lot of people on the chair and they said Silver Star is a way better place for kids. As well as Whistler. And I found the signage to be very poor. Especially with all the new trails they are doing you get to a section and there's no signage. hopefully some people will find this information helpful. Just trying to put out there how the trails are. And hopefully they will read this and they will fix some of the trails. It's definitely one of the roughest Parks I've ever ridden on. It really beats up your bike
