Hoots designed and constructed several bike facilities around the Town of Canmore starting in 2008 including the original Skills Park & Trails at the Nordic Centre. These were completed over a phased in 4 year period with stacked jump line series and technical wood-rock skills area alongside signature trails offering flow and playful creativity.

The Skills Park & Trail facilities integrated with the existing terrain, complementing the natural surrounding environment and engaging riders in a down-to-earth experience while offering different opportunities and challenges to progress. 

 

Other trails that Hoots designed and built around the Nordic Centre include a nationals XC course and 24 Hours of Adrenalin segments providing different trail style types and building techniques with single and double track, and housing climbing turns, switchbacks, insloped corners and armouring.

Together with Benchlands and Millenium Bike Park that were also completed by Hoots and experienced top shelf contractor, the Nordic Skills Park & Trails were designed to introduce locals to various styles of mountain biking from beginner to advanced.
