Bike park riding at Tamarack Resort<\/a> kicked off for the 2026 season over Memorial Day weekend. It was quite a feat, but the team reported having all the mountain\u2019s amenities up and running for opening day.<\/p>\n

But just a few days later, Tamarack \u2014 located about 100 miles north of Boise and 20 miles south of McCall \u2014 would suffer a significant blow. A Memorial Day storm in the area caused significant damage to one of the lift towers on the Tamarack Express, the mountain\u2019s only bike park lift. The damage forced the resort to make the difficult decision to close the mountain until the tower can be fixed.<\/p>\n

Now it looks like the lift at Tamarack will not be spinning for at least a month.<\/p>\n

Tamarack updated their followers via Instagram<\/a> after the storm:<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing Monday evening\u2019s windstorm, our team identified damage to one of the Tamarack Express lift towers. After working closely with the manufacturer, the tower will need to be fully replaced.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s where things stand: repair is already in motion as tower replacement begins June 1, with an estimated 3-5 weeks for installation, followed by final inspection and certification. We\u2019re targeting a mid-June to early July reopening and will keep you updated as work progresses.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post goes on to say, \u201cWe won\u2019t pretend this one doesn\u2019t sting. This team pulled off something remarkable \u2013 opening the entire resort by Memorial Day weekend, the marina, the mountain, the golf course, all of it. The energy you all brought to that opening weekend reminded us exactly why we do this. To have this happen days later is a gut punch, and we\u2019re not going to pretend otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

A local news outlet<\/a> also shared the story, where it was reported that the damage wasn\u2019t from falling trees, but an \u201cunusual cable entanglement.\u201d Singletracks reached out to Tamarack with questions about what this means for season pass holders. A representative responded that they will know more on Monday and will respond then.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tamarack also reminded locals and visitors alike that the miles of XC singletrack surrounding the mountain are very much open. The resort does have a road to the summit, but we were unable to confirm if they will allow riders to ride up to access the trails.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other bike park struggles<\/h2>\n

June 1st marked the end of the North Shore Bike Park \u2014 for the season, at least. In an Instagram post<\/a>, the indoor bike park in Maple Ridge, BC, announced it would be closing for the summer.<\/p>\n

Why? The bike park provided two reasons. First, the North Shore Bike Park saw a \u201csignificant drop-off in park attendance as outdoor riding season takes off.\u201d They also mentioned increased temperatures in the building that are \u201creaching uncomfortable levels well beyond the ambient outside temperatures.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Due to the unexpected closure, the North Shore Bike Park is \u201cfreezing\u201d all passes and will honor them when it reopens at a time that is to be determined.<\/p>\n
