Description
This park has everything! Great downhill\'s for the extremist, long networks for the cross country rider, and trails for beginners. The lift ticket is fairly inexpensive (around $20), and if need be there are plenty of networks around the area that don\'t require a lift ticket. Nevertheless, the most fun I had was on \"The Downhill\" run. It is rated as a black diamond and for good reason. The trail consists of large jumps, gapped jumps, and park like obstacles that you must ride over and around. No worries if you don\'t have a full suspension bike, I have a hard tail and it was plenty for the challenge. Make sure you are comfortable on you bike before you try this trail. Nonetheless, the extremist will not be disappointed.

Review: You don't have to by a lift ticket to have a good time, go hit up all the XC trails and enjoy good ol mountain biking at it's finest. Climb up a mountain and bomb down smiling.
Review: Fantastic experience! First time on a dowhill course. Excellent trails and very ridable black and double black diamonds. Everything from a novice to extreme dowhiller. You can roll just about every obsticle if need be. Trestle has some narly dowhills and a few sections deserving of chicken route. Rainmaker was the best one of the day for me. I rode my regular set-up cross country without all of the dowhill protective gear. Although I would sugest otherwise, I found the trails quite managable (also kept me from jumping some of the big stuff). This is something that I would recommend to every single track junky.
Review: Rode Icarus Rd all the way up on the Mary Jane side of the mountain, climb climb climb, then got to hit the DH trails on the way down. Ridiculously fun, and a good way to avoid buying a lift ticket. Although the climb up was a bear - beautiful, long, steep, but no people, which was great. the DH stuff is amazing.

Review: Incredible DH trail system at Trestle Mountain Bike Park PLUS hundreds of miles of XC trails in the area. We got the Trestle 101 package which included rentals, lift ticket, and DH instruction which taught us a lot and was a great value. If you live anywhere nearby you need to hit this at least once every summer!
Review: Great Super-D training. Several trails to choose from, with plenty of variety. None of the trails I rode on were very technical, but if you are looking to improve your DH skills, this is the place.
Review: Just a note about the resort area riding starting this season: It's only downhill traffic only on the trails. If you are a XC type and actually ride UP the mountain, then you have to ride the service roads. Trails like Long Trail are now closed to uphill traffic. It sucks that the resort is doing this! Good thing there is other good riding nearby.
Review: Whether purchasing a lift ticket and riding on the mountain itself, or riding the trails in the valley, the Winter Park area has some of the most fun mountain biking I've ever done. With over 600 miles of trails, the valley has terrain for everyone, and it's very easy to spend a couple days riding here. Be sure to participate in the Fat Tire Classic sometime, it's a great weekend of Winter Park Mountain Biking.

Review: A must do is to follow the point to point race (King of the Rockies) which goes up Tipperary Creek, down Blue Spruce Creek, go up Vasquez Creek Road a bit and cross the creek, eventually putting you on Flume and Chainsaw. Now you are at the Winter Park base. This in itself makes a very nice loop if you started at the base. But from here the race climbs up and comes back down some ski area trails. However, the best riding at the ski area is way up high where the faint of heart tread less.
Similar Trail: Almost as good as Crested Butte or Steamboat.

Review: Winter Park ROCKS!! I've been riding here for almost as long as I've been riding Mtn. Bikes. I dig the Enchanted Meadows for the sweet scenery and the Mountain Goat trail is hard to beat!! FUN FUN FUN! The Downhill trail is the #$%^!!! Have fun and make sure to go down and refill on water or what ever it is you like to drink cause you'll need it!
