Off-Season Lift Maintenance Underway. Stay Clear.
An important reminder that please – for your safety and everyone else’s safety – stay clear of RED’s lift equipment (including chairs, towers/terminals/foundations, and load/unload ramps.) This includes not crossing fencing around terminals; as any of the lifts may start moving without warning (yes, for real!). Lift terminals ARE under video surveillance. This also helps tremendously to avoid strain on any outside resources in the event of an incident.
Rossland Bikepacking Summit
The Rossland Bikepacking Summit will introduce bikepacking to a diverse audience and will strengthen and build the local bikepacking community in the West Kootenays. The event organizers believe biking is a sport that can be enjoyed by everybody and every body. However, several barriers to engaging in the sport exist and include lack of exposure to other bikepackers, challenge locating routes, lack of community, and a difficulty navigating the broad and esoteric worlds of bicycles and bikepacking gear. This summit addresses those barriers by including a gear expo and demo, speakers, and a group ride and camp. All events are planned to be inclusive and welcoming to all ages, bodies, genders and cultures.
