DOWNHILL MOUNTAIN BIKING

Thank you for another great season!! See you in 2024!!

There is no greater thrill than Downhill Mountain Biking at Greek Peak’s Bike Park! With 18 different trails (and counting!), the Bike Park has a full day’s worth of fun for all skill levels. The Visions Quad chairlift will bring you and your bike to the top of the mountain in no time.

Bike Park trails vary in difficulty level, rated Green, Blue, Black & Double Black as ski & ride trails do during the winter season. Green trails are scenic & less steep to cater to folks just starting out in the sport. Blue trails are for more intermediate riders who want to challenge themselves through more technical terrain & take on small features. Black & Double Black trails are for Expert riders looking to take on much more technical riding, large jumps, wooden features, gaps, etc. Not all features on Black and Double Black trails are able to be bypassed.
