A new 35-kilometer cross-country trail that has been four years in development will open in July at Silver Star Mountain Resort.

The Beowulf Cross Country loop takes riders along ridgelines, through cedar rainforests and grassy meadows as it winds its way from the village to the bottom of Putnam Creek and back again.

“This is a must-do ride for the discerning mountain biker,” said Cam Sorensen, bike park manager.

“At its inception, we planned for this trail to be a destination trail that would draw riders from around the world.”

Beowulf will move Silver Star from being an International Mountain Bicycling Association silver level ride centre to a gold level centre.

“Five years ago, we saw the changes in bike technology and anticipated that Enduro biking would see a surge in popularity,” said Sorensen.

“It was at that time that Silver Star embarked on building a 100-kilometre plus cross-country network culminating with the building of the Beowulf trail.”

The ribbon cutting and grand opening of Beowulf will take place July 29.
