BIKE PARK ORIENTATION
Visiting a new bike park can be intimidating, but we are here to help you feel confident and ready to explore our mountain while being safe on the trails. Check out our new Bike Park Orientation Guide to help you optimize your time at the resort. If you are a first-time rider or new to our mountain, we highly suggest taking a lesson with our Mountain Sports School to help you navigate the trails and gain some key tips and tricks to improve your riding.
Mountain bike trails are physically demanding and tough on both your bike and your body. Before you ride, take the time to inspect your equipment or have it checked by a qualified bike mechanic to ensure everything is in safe working order. Wear the appropriate protective gear for the type of terrain you'll be tackling. This includes a proper helmet, gloves, pads, and sturdy footwear. Being prepared helps prevent injuries and keeps you riding longer.
Ensure your helmet is undamaged, fits securely, and is appropriate for the riding you are participating in.
(Full-face helmets are strongly recommended for all downhill trails)
Ensure the bike is correct for the intended use and correctly fitted to the rider.
Inspect the bike frame. Look for cracks, damage, or dents.
Ensure front and rear brakes are in working order and provide adequate stopping power while descending.
Ensure the suspension is in working order and set for your weight and riding ability.
Bolts and connection points must be tight and secure.
Tires must have adequate tread and be inflated to an appropriate pressure.
Handlebars and grips must be properly secured.
Seat and seat post must be fastened securely and at the appropriate height for the type of riding.
*If you are unsure how to perform any of the inspections above, see a qualified bike mechanic.
HELMETS ARE MANDATORY ON ALL TRAILS WITHIN BIKE PARKS.
(Full-face helmets are strongly recommended for all downhill trails.)
Don’t let weather, obstacles, or crashes cut your day short. Stay protected with gear designed specifically for downhill mountain biking—from helmets to full-body armor. A helmet is mandatory for all riders, and additional protective equipment is required for beginners.
All protective gear is available to rent at The Rental Shop or to purchase at Critical Parts located at the base of the resort.

The lower mountain is a great place to start when you are new to our bike park or need a warm-up lap. For new riders, we suggest riding our green trail 'Salad Fingers' to get yourself oriented with our terrain and your bike. Once you feel comfortable, you can progress to our blue trail 'Fifty Six Twenty - Lower'.

When riding the upper mountain, start by riding 'Guilt Trip' (blue trail) to access our blue flow trails 'Fifty Six Twenty - Mid' and 'Bagful of Boogie'. These are great trails to test out the upper mountain and take your time on. Upper mountain laps can take up to an hour to return to mid-station, so make sure you are prepared for a long descent.
Upper Gondola: 10 mintues. Upper Mountain Lap: est 30-60 minutes.
You are responsible for your safety, equipment, and for respecting other riders on the mountain. Accidents can happen, but knowing and following proper bike park etiquette helps keep everyone safe.
