Silver Star Resort is really looking forward to bringing back the snow DH race to the resort to promote the upcoming BC Cup Premier DH series in 2014 as well as focus the attention on the summer season product at the resort. “We are extremely proud of what we have built here at Silver Star and just because the bike trails are buried in snow doesn't mean we are going to keep that enthusiasm hidden” commented Silver Star General Manager Michael Sherwood.

This two day snow DH event is the first of its kind to be run exactly like a summer DH race and to be sanctioned by Cycling BC. Riders will be given lift access to get to the top of the race course after safely loading their bike onto the Cat trailer.. Once at the top of the race course racers will be descending down the taped track which will include jumps, berms and drops on the ski run “Milky Way” back to the finish line and the mass of spectators in mountain village.



FrostBIKE is proudly sponsored by Silver Star Bike Park, Dunbar Cycles, Intense Cycles and brought to you by SE Racing & Promotions. “It is great to get such amazing support from all of our partners for FrostBIKE and the entire 2014 Dunbar Summer Series" said Stephen Exley from SE Racing & Promotions. Silver Star Bike Park opens for full operations June to September, so be sure to plan a trip and come have some fun in the bike park this summer!

Last March racers dialed in their race runs with some blistering times, shaving over 3 minutes off their Saturday runs due to the overnight deep freeze. The fastest time went to Yann Gauvin from Quebec, with a ridiculous 51.37 seconds! Yann took home first place in the Elite Men's category with style sporting his attractive Mullet on the podium and winning $250 cash & a new Leatt neck brace from Dunbar Cycles. Honorable mention goes to Lee Jackson from Squamish, winner of the Jr Expert Men who threw down a 55.54 second race run.
