Skills Park at Toby Creek Adventures sits on the lower slopes of Panorama Mountain Resort in Panorama, British Columbia. It’s a compact, deliberately-built skills area where riders of all levels practice jumps, drops, and cornering within a controlled zone. HIDDEN VALLEY’s core features include a progression of wood and dirt jumps, a dual slalom, a mulch jump, and a selection of technical drops carved into spruce-and-alpine terrain, making it a favorite training ground for families and aspiring freeriders. The park opens for all-day access from 10am to 4pm, and a day pass lets you refine lines without the pressure of lift schedules. Expect beginner rollers and small tabletops that gently build confidence, as well as larger takeoffs that demand speed and commitment; full-face helmets are mandatory on advanced features and riders under thirteen must be accompanied by an adult. The surface mixes packed dirt with mulched sections that hold form and drain quickly, while the surrounding lodge forest of Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir provides a clear mountain backdrop. Because the skills park is part of Toby Creek Adventures • 2213 Toby Creek Rd, Panorama, BC V0A 1T0, Canada, it functions as both a teaching site and an ongoing test track. Local guides and staff tune features seasonally, shaping lips and refreshing landings after rain. The dual slalom is excellent for timing drills and friendly races; the mulch jump offers forgiving landings for riders dialing in airtime. Instructional clinics often run here, making it an ideal place to progress technical abilities before hitting longer trail runs. What sets this Skills Park apart is its deliberate progression model and family-forward policies: no solo riding, a minimum two-rider rule, and careful feature grading keep risk manageable. For Panorama visitors staying in nearby Invermere or on-mountain lodging, this is an afternoon well spent practicing technique without committing to long descents. Photographers and coaches appreciate the clear sightlines along the slalom and the shaded staging areas near the meeting point. Plan to arrive with a bike suitable for jumps and a tuned suspension; tire choice and a comfy seat height make a big difference. Keep an eye on weather and check in at the Toby Creek Adventures desk for feature status and any age or gear updates. Whether you’re shaking off a winter layoff or sharpening race lines, Skills Park is a compact, pragmatic, and fun place to level up on Panorama’s slopes. If you’re new, book a clinic or bring an experienced buddy; staff can advise which features match your skill level and what protective gear to prioritize. After a session, walk the lower ridge for panoramic views of Columbia Lake and the Purcell Mountains—an easy cooldown that rewards effort with alpine vistas.
