Press Release: Norco Canadian Enduro Series


Welcome to Round #1, Panorama, of the 2021 Norco Canadian Enduro Series presented by Smith. It's been a while, but we are stoked to be back to racing after receiving the green light from Interior Health.

Panorama Resort is one of our all-time favourite riding destinations, we hope you're ready for a big weekend because this one is going to be epic! We're bringing you some insane stages at Panorama this year, including a brand new trail, Denalis(aka Slabasaurus). Full of loam, rock rolls and everything else good, this course will be one for the history books! We're absolutely pumped to be bringing you a huge variety of trails, and you'll be absolutely pumped after riding this course!

We can't thank Panorama Resort enough for having us back year after year. Thanks team!


Trail Love

Featuring over 2700 meters of elevation split across 5 Stages the weekend will be a big one. Starting with Stage 1 on Saturday through the bike park, and stages 2 through 5 on Sunday mixing it up between some epic Mount Goldie alpine trails and bike park flow.

The crew at Panorama Mountain Resort Bike Park have been hard at work to make this year unlike no other including a fresh, trail Denalis(aka Slabasaurus). The bike park boasts over 90km of epic trails and a highest trailhead of 2651m.
