    Snow Summit

A fun trail for riders of all abilities. This trail introduces riders to new features such as berms, paver stones, rock gardens, and rollers. It also helps riders that are looking to get better at jumping as there are a few opportunities scattered along the trail and some small step downs near the top of the trail. Novice riders should beware that the trail does have rocky and moderately steep sections. This trail, nor any trail at Snow Summit, is not recommended for riders with no experience riding mountain bikes.
The trail intersects Towne Trail at the bottom. The rider is automatically pointed in the correct direction back to the base of Snow Summit for another lift ride to the top. Beware of hikers and families on Towne Trail - it isn't a bike specific trail.

Access Info

Follow posted signs from either lift to the trail head. Two possible routes from west lift and one route from the east lift.

Disclaimer

NOTE: this trail is considered downhill primary; however, outside of bike park operating hours it is a bi-directional trail and is also open to other forms of outdoor recreation: hikers, walkers, trail runners, backpackers, etc.
