The 2016 season will include a full revamp of the beginner trail system and a master plan for the expansion of the bike park.  Future plans include construction of a multi-trail system on the backside of the mountain (Oz), more bike specific features, and a skills area.  The goal in this partnership is to maximize the existing terrain, providing more options for all ability levels.  “With our summer operations continuing to grow, we are excited to partner with Elevated Trail Design,” says Ryan Costin, General Manager.  “These guys do great work and they understand our vision for the future of the bike park.”
