Trail construction is taking place in 3 phases. Phase I which has been completed consists of 6 downhill trails and 1 uphill access route totaling approximately 7 miles. Of the 6 downhill trails, 4 are designed to be easier, 1 will be more difficult and 1 will be most difficult.
The Phase I trail network will be served by the Blue Ridge Express chairlift at Mountain High’s West Resort. See the attached map for details. Color Code
- Green Circle = Easier
- Blue Square = More Difficult
- Black Diamond = Ad
- Double-Black Diamond = Extremely Difficult
- Red = Uphill
In addition to downhill trails, Mountain High is planning to implement a Skills Park where guests can practice their technique on small, stationary features such as:
- Roller to a small jump
- Wooden banks
- Wooden platforms to small drops
These training mechanisms are designed to help new participants get comfortable with their equipment before hitting the mountain. Mountain High also offers rentals, retail wear, and delicious food & beverage.
Phase 2 will take place during the Summer of 2025 and consist of 5 more trails equating to roughly 6 more miles of terrain at its West Resort, primarily more difficult to most difficult.
Phase 3 is scheduled to take place Spring of 2026 and consist of another 2 miles of more difficult to advanced trails, also at its West Resort.
Says Ben Smith, Vice President & General Manager, “This is an incredibly exciting time and I thank the Forest Service along with everyone else who helped get us here. After trail building begins, we will evaluate construction and announce an Opening Date for later in the summer.”
Mountain Biking enthusiasts are encouraged to sign up for Mountain High’s weekly newsletter to receive updates on trail progress and opening dates.
