This is a “downhill” focused camp with chairlift access to the middle and top of the mountain.

The trails range from mild, low-angle flow trails with fun berms and rollable jumps to steep, loose rocky descents. We ride the chairlift to access the predominantly downhill trails, however, we still go through some climbing drills to help perfect your climbing technique. Please keep in mind the mountain caters more to the downhill bike handling experience than to climbing so a minimum 4-inch (140mm) travel full-suspension bike is encouraged. Most trails offer spectacular views of Whitefish Lake and the Northern Rockies, which makes us so excited to host our camps in a destination that offer the complete mountain bike lifestyle experience!

The lower mountain trails are fairly smooth with lots of corners, berms, rollers and nothing too steep. The top of the mountain has some steeper sections, loose rocks, and long winding downhill trails that will have you grinning from ear to ear. The Summit Trail provides an almost 8-mile descent back to the base area. Groups work their way down the mountain stopping when necessary to work through technical sections. More advanced groups might be introduced to larger drops (2ft+) and small jumps depending on skill level and goals. 

*Note: If you are a very advanced rider who has specific goals like “gap-jumps, doubles, whips, over 5ft drops, etc,” we suggest taking a private lesson with one of our coaches at a location that caters to jumping and dropping. If you are CLEARING tabletops comfortably and consistently, a private lesson will be more suited to your needs and desires. Contact: Info@gritclinics.com for more information.

Also please note electronic pedal-assist bikes are NOT allowed on trails in Whitefish. :(

This camp will have lift-access riding for riders and full-face helmets are REQUIRED when riding the lifts. If you bring a full-face with you, also bring your open-face helmet for morning skills and drills. We will have a limited number of full-face helmets to demo but please plan to bring your own, borrow one from a friend or rent one from the resort or a bike shop. Downhill helmets are best paired with goggles so bring those too if possible.

To rent a full-face helmet, please make sure to contact Big Sky Resort right away to reserve a helmet.
