On race day at Panorama Mountain Resort in Panorama, British Columbia, the Canadian Enduro League compresses a season’s worth of adrenaline into a single shuttle, a start gate and a downhill ribbon of dirt, rock and root. The Race Day Pass (August 16) is a ticket for registered league racers to hop one shuttle to start elevation, lock into a full-face helmet and push through stages that reward bold line choices and steady composure.
Terrain here is raw: steep Purcell Mountain slopes shaped by ancient glaciers, rocky ridgelines, and high alpine meadows that give way to tight tree sections of Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir. Trails range from fast, loamy berms to technical rock slabs and chutes where traction and body position are everything. That geological mix—glacially scoured bowls above moraine-strewn descents—makes Panorama an ideal enduro theater; climbs are short or shuttle-served, while descents demand precision.
This Race Day Pass is strictly for Canadian Enduro League racers (entrants must be born on or before December 31, 2014; minimum age 12) and includes one shuttle to the race start elevation. Riders must sign Toby Creek Adventures’ Release of Liability Waiver and follow the Mountain Bike Responsibility Code. Full-face helmets manufactured between 2023 and 2026 are mandatory; eye protection, knee and elbow pads, and gloves are strongly recommended. Those requirements tighten safety while allowing racers to explore aggressive lines and refine technical skills under a competitive schedule.
Why book this when you visit the Columbia Valley? Panorama’s lift-accessed and shuttle-friendly trail network compresses epic vertical into compact stages, giving racers more runs per day than remote backcountry venues. The resort’s proximity to Invermere and Radium Hot Springs makes logistics simple: one basecamp, many descending options. For spectators, vantage points on ridgelines deliver cinematic views of racers threading chutes against a backdrop of jagged peaks and valley floor lakes.
Beyond the race, Panorama’s high-elevation trails reveal marmots, ptarmigan, and wildflower meadows in late summer. Riders looking to expand skills will find natural features to practice drops, cornering and line choice. Environmentally conscious racers should stick to established trails, pack out tools and tape, and respect posted seasonal closures to protect fragile alpine soils.
If you’re a competitive rider with a taste for high-stakes, technical descents, the Canadian Enduro League Race Day at Panorama compresses everything you want in a race: shuttle access, varied terrain, and a community of riders chasing one clean, fast run. Plan to arrive early for gear checks and bib pickup, and bring a compact tool kit, spare tube, and extra chain quick-link; mechanicals can end a day fast. Lodging options in Invermere range from budget to family-run lodges, letting racers recover with hot meals and early starts and hydration plans.

Toby Creek Adventures operates out of Panorama, British Columbia, offering guided and self-guided mountain experiences across summer and winter seasons. The company runs a dedicated Skills Park for mountain biking, multiple shuttle and private-shuttle options for freeride laps, and a range of motorized tours including snowmobile and ATV/SXS trips. Tours visit alpine highlights such as Paradise Alpine Cabin, frozen Marmot Falls, and a historic silver mine, combining scenic vistas with on-trail exploration. Safety briefings, provided safety gear, and shuttle services are integrated into select experiences — for example, several ATV and snowmobile tours include a pre-ride safety briefing, and the E-Bike Burn Your Battery Pass supplies safety gear and guidance. The Paradise Mine, Paradise Basin, and Mountain Icefall snowmobile tours emphasize scenic stops and alpine amenities like hot drinks and BBQs at the cabin. Toby Creek Adventures hosts targeted events such as the Canadian Enduro League - Race Day Pass (August 16), and offers pass formats for repeated downhill laps including mid-week private shuttles and battery-limited e-bike sessions. Trip options explicitly note skill levels where applicable, with beginner-friendly snowmobile and ATV tours and more technical mountain bike routes for intermediate riders. As a Panorama-based operator, Toby Creek Adventures focuses on delivering location-specific experiences that leverage the region’s alpine terrain, historic sites, and panoramic mountain views while maintaining clear safety procedures and on-trail amenities.
