POP is applying for Federal Highways Administration Recreational Trail Programs grant (administered by the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation) in the amount of $115,000 help fund the next phase of our Lower Basin trail buildout. ![]()

The funds will be matched by almost $40,000 of donated and in-kind matches from POP, the City, and other private supporters, with which we will build a 2.2 mile "black" DH trail from switchback 6 to below switchback 3 on Schweitzer Mountain Road. ![]()

Please take a moment to leave a comment sharing your thoughts on this proposal, and indicate whether you are in support of or opposed to spending Federal dollars on the buildout of trails in the Lower Basin. THANKS! All comments must be received by noon on Friday!![]()

Pretty cool to watch former POP youth mtb coach Lydia Nelsen representing Schweitzer and Sandpoint on the Freeride World Tour in Kappl, Austria this morning! She had an awesome run, went big (of course she did!), tripped up after airing into a chute, but otherwise sent it huge and finished in a respectable 9th place in her first FWT comp! Way to make your home town proud, Lydia!![]()

Please leave a few words in the comment section about why you think a public bike skills park is needed in Sandpoint! Who will benefit from this? Kids? Adults? School groups? Who else? Why are bike parks an important part of any town's recreational infrastructure? ![]()

All the narrow trails of PSW plus Momentum and Green Heart were groomed by Dave tonight! Green Heart has long stretches of dirt, beware! With cold temps the next few nights the riding should be 👌!
We are excited to announce one of POP's big projects for 2023! We have partnered with the City to fundraise for and build a bike skills park in Travers Park! ![]()

POP will be applying for several grants, harnessing the skills of our dedicated member volunteers, and launching a community-wide fundraising campaign to support the construction of a half-acre youth mountain bike skills park that has been in the City's Parks Master Plan for three years now, but for which the City has not had a budget to complete. ![]()

This Wednesday City Council will consider whether or not to support POP's efforts on this project with a letter of commitment from the City to POP for use in grant applications. If you think this is a needed improvement in our community, consider sending an email to City Hall voicing your support! Emails can be sent to [email protected] You can also show up on Wednesday at 5:30 at City Hall for the council meeting and voice your support for a youth bike skills park in person!![]()
