Thread derailed, but if you like bikes like these, you would love riding at the Canmore Nordic Center.
Best vacation we ever took was a week long stay in Canmore BC, where my son and I rode at the Nordic Center everyday on rented Rocky Mountain full suspension bikes. The scenery, dirt, and trails were unbelievable.

The "black coal chutes" trail was so steep you couldn't see the trail for about 50 feet when you were at the top looking over the edge. I sent my son first. Total faith when you dropped in.

Oh, the park is in a "wildlife corridor" which means you may get eaten by a Grizzly Bear or Cougar, but that doesn't seem to happen often.
