August 26/10 - "For the past couple years all my riding buddies have been raving about how sweet the riding at Silver Star is. This past summer I finally got the chance to shred the mountain. I had high expectations based on the feedback received and it didn't disappoint. Every run I had a ear to ear grin ripping the berms. All the trails are very well thought out and built with flow and style in mind. Can't wait to get back!!"

July 17/10 - "Silver Star is a riders mountain. You might say it's the winding bermed flagship of the BC Bike Parks fleet. Pick your poison, from the technical root riddled cambers of Flow to the pampered pickings of Rockstar and Pipe Dream, this resort boasts a serious mountain bike medley. Giddy up!"

Aug. 2/08 — “I think it is safe to say Silver Star could possibly be the best bike park in the Canada. The people, terrain and level of commitment on behalf of staff and trail crew is amazing.”

Aug. 19/08 — "Silver Star and everyone involved from ticket sales and lifty’s to maintenance and patrol were absolutely superb!
A quick lift offers crazy, long arm burning runs for all levels of rider and each trail has incredible flow and rhythm making me grin like a school boy!
The local cuisine from proper restaurants to the local pubs offer huge variety and killer flavour making it easy to eat out every night!
Accommodations at Silver Star are very accessible with easy ride in/out opportunity and offers a high end experience from both condos to complexes.
It seems no matter who I bump into, everyone at Silver Star is stoked to be there and staff and managers alike seem to take huge pride in their mountain… So cool!...
I sit on a very thin and difficult fence, do I tell everyone I know how amazing the Silver Star experience is every time I go or do I keep it my dark hidden secret…

Silver Star bike park is super fun and a great place to enjoy learning skills. The burms, drops and jumps are all nicely marked and made to progress and challenge yourself at any level. I have been racing and coaching for over ten years and Silver Star Mountain has so much to offer for a completely exciting and friendly atmosphere, I will definitely be returning! Tera (Meade) Card

September 2007 -
We recently travelled from Perth, Australia to British Columbia for a mountain biking holiday, which included a week at Silver Star. To put this in perspective, that's about a 13000km trip involving some 26 hours on planes and in airports! People have asked me if it was worth it and my answer is "YES."
Since we began biking many years ago, we have always wanted to travel to British Columbia and ride. BC is an iconic destination, a kind of Mecca for mountain bikers around the globe. We had heard good things about Silver Star Bike Park from other Australian riders, but nothing prepared us for just how good the riding was. We spent a week at the Star and I could have easily stayed a month. It is world class. The commitment, passion and work ethic of the trail crew is evident on every single run and the variety of terrain available is superb. There's something for everyone on the mountain, from experienced riders to rank beginners. I could take off down World Cup and my significant other would be super-stoked by the end of a run down Superstar. We knew by the end of the second day that we'd be back at the Star in 2008, but for longer. I would have traded the week we spent on the North Shore for more time on your hill, without any hesitation. We met a lot of Vernon riders and even caught up with some of them later in the trip at Whistler. Great people, great trails, great accommodation and great beer!
Being from Perth, snow is something we just don't experience. We have year-round biking, though, so it's a big part of our outdoors lifestyle here. The Bike Park may be viewed as a poor cousin to the winter activities but nonetheless it drew us from halfway round the world to ride it.
It's always gut wrenching to leave a place you've fallen in love with, but now we're back in sunny Perth we are working towards returning to BC and Silver Star Bike Park in 2008. Thank you for a fantastic biking experience.
