Trail Construction 

Trail construction is taking place in 3 phases.  Phase I is underway and consists of 3 downhill trails totaling approximately 3 miles. Of the 3 downhill trails, 1 is 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 map below for details. Color Code

  • Green Circle = Easier
  • Blue Square = More Difficult
  • Black Diamond = Advanced

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 retail wear along with delicious food & beverage. Bike Rentals will be coming SOON.

Phase 2 will take place during the Summer of 2026 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 2027 and consist of another 5 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."
