Mark, Jared, Blair and Amy roll through town like they own it. The riders had just finished a loop of the teensy amount of the Valemount Bike Park that is now open: the Swift Creek Loop to Subversion, up the road to a small connector and back down the Swift Creek Loop. It’s all on the north side of Swift Creek and it’s all dry and good for riding. Most trails however are not open yet and many are still covered in snow. / ANDRU MCCRACKEN
