Congratulations Ian!!!
Ian and his dad Clif are our raffle prize winners of the 20th Anniversary fundraiser to support trail maintenance and development in Vernon.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who supported NOCS by purchasing ticketsโyour contributions make a real difference. And a huge shoutout to our incredible sponsors, Sun Country Cycle and Norco Bicycles, for generously donating the Norco Sight C3.
On July 12th, weโre rolling out the welcome mat for women riders from across the Interior and beyond - from Prince George to the Kootenays, the Coast to Calgary, Canmore, and all the way to Edmonton!
The Bombshell Enduro is more than a race โ it's a destination weekend in the heart of the Okanagan, hosted at the stunning SilverStar Bike Park and surrounded by all the beauty, adventure, and small-town charm that Vernon has to offer. Whether you're here to race, explore, or relax (or all three!), you're in for an unforgettable time.
Weโre looking for 30 more awesome volunteers to help make the Bombshell Enduro a success! This is a super fun womenโs mountain bike event held at Silver Star Mountain Resort.
We need segment timers and course marshalls to help keep the event running smoothly. Whether you can spare a few hours or the whole day, your support makes a huge difference! No experience is necessary - you'll be provided everything you need to do the role.
Perks include:
BBQ wrap up
A volunteer t-shirt and swag
Volunteer only Raffle Prizes!
A chance to cheer on incredible women racers
And of course, a day spent in the beautiful outdoors with a great community!
Come be part of something special and help us celebrate women in mountain biking!
Date: July 12, 2025 7am-3pm(ish)

Cam Sorensen has been building trails in British Columbia for over 25 years. He has been a trailblazer for trail development and sustainability in the Province and a leader for fellow trail builders to follow.
From his early beginnings of making trails so he and his friends could have more options to ride, to building the Silverstar Bike Park into one of the best in Canada, Cam continues to pursue his passion of creating the perfect trail.

Spring is in the air, but the trails arenโt quite ready! Ride smart during these shoulder season weeks so we can all enjoy a full season ahead.
Ride early when the ground is still frozen.
Avoid mudโriding soft trails causes trail braiding & long-term damage.
Explore other options: hit Silver Star for some turns, glide on skinny skis at Sovereign, or go for a spin on the Rail Trail.
Take care of the trails now, and theyโll take care of you all season long.
Spring Solstice is here, and weโre as excited as ever for the change of seasons! Longer days, warmer rides, and fun events await.
Submit your favorite trail photos from the past 20 years for a chance to win a $100 gift card from Olympia Cycle and Ski.
