Opening Day at a New Bike Park! Big White, Kelowna B.C. - My Impressions | Jordan Boostmaster

- Big White is a Ski Resort that has just built a mountain bike park for the summer time. I was there to ride on the opening day and I give my impressions.
There were not many trails open for the opening day so they only charged $25 for the lift tickets. I thought the green trails were fairly fun for the first couple runs but they got tiring, there was a double black mtb trail which was pretty cool, and a fun blue flow trail at the end which was fun.
I just found that it was too soon to open this bike park and I just didn’t enjoy it as much as I had hoped.

With the tight berms they may have done that to keep speed way down to make sure it stays beginner friendly so better riders dont shred past people who may be learning.
They had started/planned out other trails (blue and black) around the mountain that were supposed to be open by the end of the season, but due to our extreme drought and fire risk, they were actually cut off from being able to use their machinery. The trail crew is going to be building new lines right up until the snow falls, and by next season there will hopefully be a more complex and versatile system of trails to enjoy. Ultimately it will take a few years for the park to take off, and this first season was probably more for the big white locals than anything.
Every park has to start somewhere, called growing pains.
Jordan, you have to remember that beginner riders won't be as comfortable as you are going fast so that probably why the turns are sharper since most beginner riders will probably be traveling half the speed you are. I'm a beginner and can never keep up with my brother in law when we go riding since he has a couple years not experience then I do in the same trails. I'm totally okay with that.
Hey guys as you can see in this video I have been switching a lot between my helmet and chest cam angles, since a lot of the trails here were so smooth anyway I thought it's fine to use a good amount of helmet cam footage. I intend on doing a similar thing with future videos, but I am open to feedback on how much is too much switching around and how much gimbal footage you'd prefer to see!
You know beginners have to start somewhere , don't be so negative .
Black mamba was the best trail of this year and sucks that you missed it. They are building new trails for next year and I actually found a new build by chance on the last day. Big white needs more time to build, that for sure, get up to silver stars level. Honest review of their first day open. I like the different camera angles!
ayy that lift girl was cute
Having those easy trails and tight berms are the same reason why they have lots of beginner bunny slopes on ski/snowboard mountains...because it attracts those who are beginner mountain bikers, which then brings in money. Not everyone is as skilled as you or I. You don't own the mountain (because you sound like all trails should be catered towards your riding).
Looks like they're off to a good start to be honest. They probably needed some return investment and opened early to pull in the local enthusiasm. Cool mountain!
I totally agree with you. I live in Kelowna and I didn't even contemplate going to Big White after taking a look at it on trailforks. For everyone in Kelowna, stick to the home trail networks of Crawford, Knox, and Gillard! If you want to ride a bike park, then head on over to Silverstar!
I love skiing there during the winter and I’m so excited to start biking . I live really close to big white and I’m happy they opened a bike trail up there
those berms you didnt like are great for the new slow beginner riders write?
I'm pretty sure the beginner stuff was broken into different segments for safety. It's a lot easier for patrollers to communicate location of injuries to other first responders.
love ur vids and filming is great!
So Sick!
Looks awesome!
Jordon, you probably shouldn't have said anything about the trails here, until you were able to come back again when it is more developed, it's like riding a prototype bike that isn't completed yet
Living in Kelowna all my life. Boy this summer it hasn't rained since June and it's September 14th as of today sooooooo yeah it's dry. Should low key come back in the winter :p
The green dragon head you saw around
