July 22, 2008 - Submitted by brule
Panorama Mountain village is nestled in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and home to a great family orientated getaway destination. My reason for the getaway was to re-experience their bike park and its changes over the years. My last visit to Panorama resort was close to 3 years ago, so I was more than due for a refresher.

I was lucky to be joined by the head of the trail crew Darcy Lehr and a few west coasters, Tim Coleman and Martin Newman for a great tour of the resort. Check out our day in the sun (New video attached):
