Crested Butte Bike Multiseason Planning





Project: Crested Butte Mountain Resort Bike Park
Location: Crested Butte, Colorado
Client: Triple Peaks LLC
Description:
Crested Butte has long been recognized as a birthplace of mountain biking. As part of IAD's comprehensive Mountain Improvements Plan prepared in 2004, IAD worked closely with CBMR trails crew to create a long-term plan for improvement and expansion of the cross-country and downhill mountain bike trail system. Over the past few years, the resort has made a commitment to improve the cross-country and lift-served mountain biking experience and has implemented much of the plan created by IAD. The result is that CBMR has been able to join a select group of resorts on the forefront of the mountain biking industry.
The Evolution Bike Park is designed for progression and improvement for riders of all ability levels. The park experience begins at the base area in the Specialized Demo Center where the expert staff helps outfit clients with the size and style of bike to match their riding level and goals. The Park includes over 25 miles of singletrack cross country and downhill trails as well as a Mountain Cross Track featuring berms and jumps for exciting side by side racing action. The Skills Zone, featuring beginner singletrack and a Pump course, is located at the base area and is the perfect place build your skill base or sharpen your fundamentals.
