The gravel lot on the N side of the road is closed for parking now for some stupid reason but we are working on that.

The ski hill will open July 1st, Canada Day eh. So far there are only two trails roughed in with a third in construction. The resort has hired Joe Schwartz as a trail consultant so I think there will be some good trails but these things take time to build.
There is an EXTENSIVE network of trails surrounding town ranging from six hour epics above treeline to full on stunted steep technical shuttles to 6000' descents. There is a shuttle service http://www.summitrides.com/ and an excellent bike shop http://www.revolutioncycles.ca/ in town with maps.
IMBA Canada is considering The Seven Summits trail as an epic and there will be a poker ride on this trail on July 31. I'll make a post about the poker ride when there is more info, expect a party on wheels.
It's a fun town, check it out.
