Rocky Mountain Electric

Our pri­vate shut­tle will meet you at the Cal­gary Inter­na­tion­al Air­port and dri­ve the group to our lodge in beau­ti­ful Fernie.

Upon arrival, we encour­age you to unpack, set­tle in and rest up for the week of adven­ture ahead. The lodge will be our home base for the next few days of Fer­nie trail rid­ing. Your bikes will be await­ing your arrival, ful­ly charged up and ready for some fun. If you brought your own ebike, we’ll pro­vide bike stands, tools, and help­ing hands for any­one need­ing assistance.

Tonight, we’ll all enjoy din­ner togeth­er as we prep for an amaz­ing week of riding.

After a good night of rest, you’ll awak­en to the smell of fresh brewed cof­fee, with views of the Rock­ies to accom­pa­ny our hearty group break­fast at the lodge, cooked by your guides.

This morn­ing, we’ll have a quick rid­ers meet­ing at 9:30 am, then it’s time to hit the trails. 

The fun starts imme­di­ate­ly as we start our ride straight from the ski hill and make our way to town through the old growth Provin­cial Park trails. These trails will give you a good chance to warm up for the day, and the rest of the tour. 

We’ll have lunch on 2^nd Ave as a group, then on to Mount Proc­tor, and final­ly Mount Fer­nie itself.  The goal is 3 moun­tains today, 4 if we have bat­tery left to ped­al home.  The shut­tle and cool bev­er­ages will be ready when you are.  Back into town for many din­ing options tonight.

Today’s trail of choice is called “Slunt” like slog and grunt had a baby. It’s not all leg burn and heavy breath­ing, as this trail ends with a 470M descent! 

We’ll knock out a big’ ol morn­ing ride on the trails around Fer­nie, then enjoy lunch on main street before head­ing onwards and upwards as high as the group wish­es to go above Ridge­mont — the sky is the lim­it.  We can even top up our charges at Gear Hub if the group is real­ly feel­ing like a good pedal. 

You’ll know what Fer­nie is all about after 2 full days of ebik­ing here.

There’s usu­al­ly time to pop into town and cruise the strip or relax in the hot tub before we dine in one of Fer­nie’s excel­lent restau­rants — maybe some sushi, maybe a local pub on the main street?

After break­fast at the lodge, we’ll pack up for our dri­ve to our next base­camp in Inver­mere. This will be a scenic, 2.5–3 hour dri­ve through beau­ti­ful east­ern British Columbia. 

We’ll then ride the mas­ter­ful­ly craft­ed Swansea trail net­work fea­tur­ing awe­some sin­gle­track climb­ing to some beau­ti­ful down­hill flow trails. After the ride, we’ll check in to our down­town Inver­mere accom­mo­da­tion. Once set­tled in, we’ll have the abil­i­ty to ride to the beach then ride to din­ner over­look­ing the lake. 

After an ear­ly break­fast, it’s time to check out the trails sur­round­ing Invermere. 

We’ll see what these batteries/legs can real­ly do. Panora­ma has some big moun­tain objec­tives, and our ulti­mate tar­get is Goldie Ridge. It will be approx­i­mate­ly 1,500 meters of climb­ing to get to this point, but there are some low­er options avail­able. You’ll want to make it up to Goldie Ridge though — the reward is more than worth it. Expe­ri­ence breath­tak­ing 360 degree views from this ridge­line before the incred­i­ble descent back to the trailhead. 

Once we make it back down, we’ll enjoy some cold bev­er­ages and grub at the Pub, then head back to Inver­mere for some big relax­ing after our big pedaling. 

After break­fast we’ll depart our accom­mo­da­tions on our way to Gold­en. On the way, we’ll get in a nice morn­ing ride at Lil­lian Lake to get the blood pump­ing and a good adren­a­line hit. 

After our ride we have a lit­tle dri­ve up to Gold­en, BC. It should take us about an hour and a half to make it to town where we’ll enjoy lunch togeth­er at a local spot. 

After lunch, it’s on to Mount 7 — named after the dis­tinc­tive “7” snow for­ma­tion that appears each spring with the melt­ing snow. Back in the day, Mount 7 host­ed the Psy­chosis Race and has long been at the heart of local down­hill rid­ing in Golden. 

After the ride, we check in to our chalet where the guides will pre­pare a BBQ din­ner for everyone.

Today we have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to ride until we meet our hearts con­tent. We will be rid­ing the leg­endary Moon­rak­er trails — dat­ing back to the 1980’s, these were orig­i­nal­ly Nordic ski trails that were then aban­doned and reclaimed as cross-coun­try moun­tain bike trails. 

The trails we will be rid­ing vary from smooth and flowy to steep­er and tech­ni­cal — there’s some­thing for every­one! We have all day to ride, so we will have plen­ty of time to get your fill of trail time. 

After the ride we’ll check out White­tooth Brew­ery, home to Bel­gian and West Coast inspired beers. After some post ride bevies, we’ll head into town for a nice din­ner at a local restaurant.

Our final morn­ing starts with a morn­ing post-break­fast rip right out our back door. After the ride, we’ll pack up and head out for an awe­some dri­ve through the Banff Nation­al Park. We’ll stop off for lunch dur­ing the ride in Can­more for some local cui­sine before head­ing the rest of the way back to Calgary. 

We can drop you off at either the Cal­gary Inter­na­tion­al Air­port by 4:30 PM or at the Acclaim Hotel Cal­gary Airport.
