Panorama bike park welcomes new feature

Panorama Mountain Village has announced the winner of its Rockstar Bike Rodeo Dream it, Drop it contest.

Panorama Mountain Village has announced the winner of its Rockstar Bike Rodeo Dream it, Drop it contest, and Vancouver North Shore resident Patrick Podolski has won with his feature, entitled “Many Options.”

Podoloski was one of eight entries and, as a result of his feature being selected, has won a four-night bike-and-stay package in a deluxe two-bedroom condo at Panorama. Podoloski and his friends will also be the first riders to try out the new feature on Saturday (July 21). In the week leading up to the unveiling, Panorama trail crews will be hard at work building the new feature located directly below last year’s Dream it, Drop it winner, the “Mousetrap” feature, in an area accessible by foot from the Upper Village, above the FunZone.

Podolski has been riding and trail building for 14 years while living in and around the North Shore.

“I have been lucky to have the birth of

freeride as my backyard for many of those years,” said Podolski in a release.
