'Cuz freeride ain't freeKamloops didn’t earn its freeride crown by accident. It took vision. Risk. Trailblazers (literally). Now, it’s time to give back to the dirt that raised us.
Our trails are legendary, but with great trails comes great responsibility—and a whole lotta maintenance.
Say hello to the Freeride Fund—a brand new, community-powered initiative to support the ongoing upkeep of our sanctioned trail networks. Tourism Kamloops has already committed $50,000 over the next 3 years, and now we’re calling on our fellow trail lovers, loam lords, and send-it specialists to help keep the legacy alive.
This is freeride—for real.

Pull up a chair, grab a pint, and soak up the sunshine on the patio; trail stories, kids, and pups are all welcome. Named for the red collar worn by their late labrador, Goosey, this brewery pours craft and character into every glass—and now, that includes the spirit of freeride.
