Riders Choice winners are selected based on input from mountain bikers throughout Canada and the United States who participate in a lengthy survey delving into every aspect of their favourite mountain bike trails and destinations. Each spring, the announcement of the winners is a popular and handy guide for planning summer road trips to mountain resort bike parks.

Right now, we’re starting to get the park ready – installing bike carriers on the Comet chair and looking forward to getting out to prep the trails in a few weeks." "There are big expansion plans for this summer with continuing work on our signature 30+ kilometre XC loop, Beowulf, which is designed to be a destination ride,” continued Sorensen. “We’re also going to be rebuilding Rock Star. It was the original black diamond flow jump trail in the park and it’s time for a facelift.”
This year’s Riders Choice award comes on top of widespread recognition and accolades for SilverStar’s bike park, including Silver Level Ride Centre status from the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) and
