One month and counting until Panorama opening weekend and the Mad Trapper DH race.

The trails have been cleared and the dirt work has started.

Let the fun begin!

Onepunch you should make your way out to Panorama. The bike park is good with lots of super fun trails. The Panorama village itself is fun. Also the riding in the surrounding area is fantastic. All this rolled in with gorgeous views and epic mountains ... you can't go wrong.

Stoked for the race this year Pano-Dude! The course last year was SO fun! We'll have to go out for a ride again this year. I'll be spending the entire week after the Mad Trapper between Golden and Invermere.

The new course was awesome - fast and flowy. I'm definately making the trip again. Any chance the crew can build a start ramp?

Hey nate, how are ya?

Same course with a couple new things. Damn weather has not been to friendly, there is still snow on part of the course! I rode it today and it was sweet ripping down the dirt and then onto a big pile of snow! It should all be gone by the race.

We can.... not sure what difference it would make to the start though. Why do you think it is needed?

here is a couple from last yers race, I'll need to search for some more.

The park is steep and gnarly for the most part, but we have some really sweet single track trails also. We are going to rebuild many of the existing trails this year. Definately come on out you will enjoy it.

A 13 year old kid from Calgary had fast time of the day at 4:11 for a long time, f'in crazy!

It was over 40 at the base lift station yesterday! I sat on a big pile of snow beside the course for a long time! Unreal... snow on the mountain and 40 degrees WTF!
