Being among people crazy enthusiastic about mountain biking. Smithers was my favourite destination for the actual trails. I loved the campsites by lakes where we could jump in after the riding. Loved the on the spot tips and coaching. Thought I would never have the chance to ride the northern community trails. A dream come true. The Smithers brewery very nice touch and change up to camping for a few hours. Felt very spoiled. Loved your very professional and numerous staff. Nothing was too much.

Finding out I actually could ride 6 days straight on all new trails every day without getting mangled while thoroughly enjoying the company of all new friends was awesome! Seeing a part of my province I’d long desired to visit, and doing it on two wheels, in the company of many stoked local hosts, was awesome. Eating about 4000 calories a day of delicious food prepared by someone else but not gaining an ounce, was awesome. Daily yoga, great coffee and perfect weather, was awesome. Losing my shuttling virginity, although at first seemingly distasteful, turned out to be awesome. Oh, yeah, and riding some of the best trails I’ve ever seen was super awesome! - Carla Wilkie
