Mount Snow Bike Park
Welcome to the Bike Park
Since we opened our lifts to mountain biking decades ago, Mount Snow has been putting smiles on dirt-covered faces every summer. Our terrain and trail system is rooted deep in the heritage of Downhill Mountain biking.
In the past few years we have been progressively integrating features like berms, ladders, man-made surfaces, and dirt jumps into Mount Snow's trail system; staying ahead of what has become expected of the new age bike park. Mount Snow is home to Gateway, which is one of the longest introductory downhill trails in the East. Anyone who is already comfortable on a mountain bike now has the opportunity to let gravity do the work without having to be an expert.
There is no charge for use of the Crosstown Trails. WARNING - Use of these trails is at your own risk

Can I Ride My Own Bike?
To maximize your safety and enjoyment we recommend a using a Downhill Specific bike with full suspension and front and rear disc brakes. While Trail, Cross Country, and other mountain bikes have design characteristics that make them great for climbing, peddling, and negotiating single track, they are not recommended for the rigors of lift served trails.
If you do not have a bike, or need the perfect bike to match our trails, Mount Snow Sports has everything you need! Learn more here.
E-Bikes
The US Forest Service currently classifies e-bikes as a motor vehicle. Since Mount Snow operates on USFS land and our downhill mountain biking trails are designated for non-motorized use, e-bikes are not permitted on the Canyon Express lift. We encourage e-bike guests to enjoy the Base Loop and Crosstown Trails.
