Guided Tours & Lessons
Group Lessons
Three-hour group lessons are available for beginner, novice, and intermediate riders. Sign up early as the mountain bike school accepts a maximum of eight people per group. Beginners and novices will cover the basic skills of downhill mountain biking, including neutral stance, braking, and cornering at the base of the Bike Park. After learning the fundamentals, participants will progress to riding the chairlift and developing these techniques on Let It Ride and Rocking Horse. Intermediate riders will build confidence and speed on more technical terrain (smaller drops, rocks, logs, roots, etc.) and will spend some time on basic features and jumps.
For those new to the sport, the package price of $149.99 per person plus applicable taxes includes instruction, one full-day bike rental, protective gear, and one adult lift ticket.
*Damage insurance ($25) is not included in the package price and is highly recommended.
