Paydirt

Pay Dirt is a classic reborn—a fast, flow-driven descent that blends legacy lines from the early days of the bike park with modern trail design. Originally roughed in nearly two decades ago during the first wave of freeride-era development, Pay Dirt has evolved from a raw, gravity-fed line into a polished and playful singletrack, thanks to thoughtful updates and consistent care.

The Kootenay Columbia Trails Society (KCTS) has played a key role in keeping this trail alive and thriving, maintaining its original character while improving drainage, smoothing transitions, and reinforcing key sections to handle today’s higher trail traffic. Riders will find a mix of old-school roots and rough-in sections alongside machine-shaped berms, rollers, and optional airs that keep things fun and dynamic.

This intermediate-to-advanced trail rewards momentum, flow, and precision. Whether you're reliving the early freeride spirit or discovering it for the first time, Pay Dirt delivers that golden ratio of speed, rhythm, and challenge.

A must-ride for anyone who appreciates trails with deep roots and fresh flow.
