Sally’s View of the River

Imagine being able to stand on a state of the art twin segment standing lift which allows mountain bike enthusiasts to ride to the top of a hill in relative comfort. This state of the art covered magic surface lift will easily and efficiently transport beginners up to the half way point of the hill or eventually all the way to the top. Once in place this lift will operate every day to move downhill and cross country mountain bikers up the hill rain or shine. The riders will simply step onto the carpet while holding onto the bike at their side. What makes this lift unique is the domed Plexiglas cover. It will protect riders from harsh winds and snow in winter and offer a climate controlled peaceful and user friendly atmosphere year round. All these dreams are in the near future of the Sir Sam’s Ski and Summer Program.

This dream of future magic carpets will soon be in place; however, for now the Quad chair at Sir Sam’s Ski Hill transports bikes and people to the top of the hill. And the mountain biking summer season is ope the Victoria Day Long Weekend. The quad chair will be operating fir scenic tour rides and for the downhill mountain bike riders to access the new trails. Also Sir Sam’s has been busy upgrading their already comprehensive series of trails with some new tweaks and peaks.
Sir Sam’s now offers riders the choice of 10 km of cross country and 6 km of downhill riding for all level of riders. The newly cut 1,5 km gravity run winds down the hill snake like offers banked turns, whoops and berms that will excite all riders. Also new are 2 km of single and double black diamond downhill runs through hardwood forests and over rock face drop off that will challenge intermediate and experienced riders. The quad chairlift operates five days a week (Wednesday through Sunday) to transport bike and rider to the top of the hill. And there are plenty of jumps, woops and berms for younger or less experienced riders.

Algonquin Outfitters has teamed up with Sir Sam’s and offers bike rental, repair and retail outlet for clothing, accessories and bike sales.
The Sunny Rock Bed and Breakfast is approximately a 40 minute drive to the Mountain Biking hills of Sir Sam’s.
