Pad up and scope it before you send it, preferably aboard a full downhill bike. Threshold is the classic gnarly, rooty, rocky, fast, and dirty DH trail. Bone Saw, NE Style, and Power Hour are high-speed, full-throttle modern jump trails with steep lips, chicane berms, curved walls, and creative wood features to help make any jumper or slopestyle rider’s day. Cat’s Paw offers smaller jumps and wallrides for intermediate riders. Hellion is the classic top-to-bottom jump trail with tabletop jumps, hips, bridges, rollers, and wallrides of all sizes. The park’s top-to-bottom excavated beginner trail, Easy Rider, is smooth and fun for those just learning to ride DH.įor riders transitioning into DH with XC or all-mountain bikes, trails like Happy Hour, Fancy Feast, and Cat’s Paw offer rollable features, natural and man-made terrain, and endless berms and smiles.įor the jumpers out there, Highland has everything under the sun, from mellow rolling tabletop jumps to 30-plus-foot slopestyle course step-up jumps. It takes the logistics out of downhill mountain biking and makes it that much easier to shred! At $99, it’s actually cheaper than just renting a downhill bike, too. This program includes a rental bike, lesson, and lift ticket for a great price. Highland offers a Find-Your-Ride program designed to introduce beginners into the bike park scene and make sure they have a positive experience. Here’s why Sasha thinks this place is so special. The phrase “mini-Whistler” gets tossed around a lot in descriptions of the place. Now consistently ranked in the top five downhill parks nationwide, Highland has an insane variety of trails, from the rowdy and rocky to fully bermed and tabletopped to mellow cruisers for first-timers along with pump tracks, a full dirt jump park, and a Woodward-style indoor training facility. Part of his motivation to call New Hampshire his home base is nearby Highland Mountain Bike Park-a former ski area in Tilton, New Hampshire, that was bought and converted into a full-time mountain bike park years ago. He’s now the bike park manager at Rye Airfield Skate and Bike Park as well as Woodward Copper’s head mountain bike coach.
