Mountain Biking - lifted and cross-country Red Resort will have the Silverlode Chair running this summer for lift-accessed mountain biking. Working with local trailbuilders, they'll be creating some green circle, blue square, and black diamond runs to suit every level of biker - and then relax on the deck at the Red Shutter with a cool one when you're done! Rossland isn’t the Mountain Biking Capital of Canada for no reason! Hundreds of kilometres of trails of all abilities, including some incredible downhill rides. I highly recommend the Oasis Trail for intermediate and advanced riders – a great ride and easy access from the Red Shutter. Or do the downhill ride to the Warfield Pool, and get us to pick you up in the van and bring you back! Doukhobor Draw is another fantastic downhill experience - read what "Explore" magazine said in 1996, and the trails still seem the same. "Devine Ride" Mountain Biking Camps - all-women and mixed group coaching camps - stay with us, and ride with ex world champion Cindy Devine Check out the maps on www.rosslandtrails.ca - the official trails society website, for hiking and mountain biking maps.

trout out there too. The Columbia River and Arrow Lake are both
a good bet. Rossland Golden City Days 2nd weekend of September. Includes "The Rubberhead" mountain bike race, running race, and combined Ironman. Kieren was 3rd in the run this year, but will be working on his biking - if you can beat him in the run, your stay is HALF PRICE!
