VPS-Fest is Norco's one-of-a-kind Rider Appreciation Day. In 2003 we created our first VPS-Fest event as a fun way to give back to the riding community and a great excuse to get Norco riders together for a great time. Since our first event, VPS-Fest has grown and expanded into a much anticipated event on many Norco riders' calendars. This event gives us the opportunity to say, 'Thanks!' to our riders by providing FREE lift-accessed riding, FREE tech support by World Cup mechanics, FREE flat and wheel repair, the chance to win thousands of dollars in prizes, and much more.

Norco will be at Mount Washington, for their big end-of-summer bash on September 15th/16th. Mount Washington offers gravity fed and adrenaline fueled mountain biking down 1657 vertical feet. The Hawk and The Eagle, two High Speed Lifts gives you full access to sixteen trails, or 35 km of single track. Plus, the expanded cross country terrain from the Hawk provides options for novice to advanced. Other highlights are: a Downhill Race Course, Biker Cross, Proline/Slopestyle Course and a Skill Center.

Mount Washington Alpine Resort is a privately owned resort community, open year round, located near the very popular Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. First opened in 1979, Mount Washington is now in its 27th year of operation.

Norco's 1st VPS-Fest of the season has already taken place at Silver Star Resort, just outside Vernon, BC. Silver Star has been running their chairlift for mountain biking since 1991, holding world class events since their World Cup DH/XC in 1994 and have been blazing a trail in the mountain bike industry ever since. For a summary of the event, check out this posting from norco.com.

Please note: VPS-Fest's key events take place on the first day of the weekend. The second day of the event allows our staff riders to take part in some of the great riding this mountain offers. So come ride with us on both days, we'd love to you at the next VPS-Fest.
