Revelstoke Bike Park: Opening Day
What To Expect For Opening Day at the Revelstoke Bike Park on May 20, 2023
On Saturday, May 20, the Revelstoke Bike Park opens for the season with access to the lower network of trails via mid-station on the Revelation Gondola. Our Trail Crew has been working hard over the last four weeks to prep trails for their 2023 debut. With the recent warm weather, our Trail Crew was able to get ahead of the game and crush out some long days on the tools to bring trails into their prime. For those planning to get on the dirt this weekend, here’s what you need to know:
Hours
From May 20 to June 23, the Revelstoke Bike Park will be open from 10:00 am – 4:45 pm (last upload). View Hours of Operation.
The Trails
The entire lower mountain is good to go! Salad Fingers is the go-to-lap for anyone looking to dust off the cobwebs or ease into the season. Fifty Six Twenty has been buffed out from mid-station down, so you can expect smooth berms and friendly transitions. For those looking to get some airtime, End Game is in superior condition. If you’re after tech, hit Dirty Sandwich, The Big Easy, or Dust Punk, which also includes a new section of trail branching off the Take It Easy Climb.
Crowbar Network
Important Notice
Due to extensive heavy equipment work and blasting near the RMR Cat Shop, access to the (unsanctioned) Crowbar trail network is strictly prohibited. Anyone caught accessing these trails via the Resort will have their lift access privileges revoked. Access to the (unsanctioned) Crowbar trail networks will be available via Pipe Wrench starting on June 24th with the opening of the Upper Mountain.
