With a chair lift ride to the top, mountain bikers don’t need to earn their turns. And you don’t have to be a downhiller to agree that descending is usually the best part of the ride.

Have you ever ridden lift-served DH bike trails?

Bonus question for the comment section: Which lift-served trails are you riding this summer?
