Mt Nelson Pump Track Revitalization Project

The beloved Mt Nelson Pump Track is being revitalized into an inclusive, world-class facility for riders of all ages and abilities.

Led by the Columbia Valley Cycling Society (CVCS), this project is being delivered in collaboration with the District of Invermere, Rocky Mountain School District, and the Columbia Valley Greenways Trail Alliance.

Built to World-Class Standards

Velosolutions, the global leader in innovative pump tracks, built the revitalized pump track, which features a durable asphalt surface for a smoother, more accessible experience for a wide range of wheeled users, including bikes, inline skates, and scooters.

The revitalized pump track also includes Velosolutions Vorld App technology, a free app that lets riders count laps and track times.

The redesigned track meets world-class standards and offers a place to play, learn, progress, and refine technique, while positioning Invermere to host future events and competitions.

Built for the Community

The design includes two tracks beginning from a shared start zone: a smaller track for newer riders and a longer, more advanced track. This layout will accommodate more riders and support better flow during busy periods.

This revitalization will help create a more vibrant, active community for years to come, increase year-round use, and expand access to inclusive, outdoor recreation for residents and visitors.

Construction began with the removal of the existing dirt pump track in mid-August 2026 .

Velosolutions completed the asphalt track just before Thanksgiving. Denbow laid down TerraSeeding in mid-October. However, for the seed to take, it requires a solid week of minimum growing temperatures of 8°C.

Therefore, the pump track project is anticipated to open in Spring 2027.

What's new:

• Asphalt surface for durability and smoother riding
• Designed for all ages, skill levels, and abilities
• Accessible for bikes, inline skates, and scooters
• Built to a world-class standard

The total project cost is $620,000.

Thanks to the generosity of major funding partners, Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) and the Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI), the project secured its initial $480,000 in funding. The CVCS contributed $10,000, bringing the total to $490,000.

Now it's our community's turn. Our Community Campaign is raising the remaining funds needed to complete the project, with support from individuals, businesses and community fundraising initiatives. 

Donations are accepted through our charitable project partner, the Columbia Valley Greenways Trail Alliance, which is leading the community fundraising campaign. Donations made directly or through CanadaHelps are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

Help us cross the finish line. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer.
