More About This Summer's Work
The Summit Mountain Bike Park has taken a huge leap forward this summer. Thanks to the crew at EMBA we've been able to break ground and begin the dirt work on several trails. These trails are on Summit property which allows us to make some great progress this summer and get a head start on the entire park while we work through the approval process on USFS land. This area provides us with some steeper terrain and unique features to build several of our more technical trails, with a serious nod to our trails of the past. Think organic, techy, steep and ridiculously fun! However, if that's not your style, don't fret because our plans include plenty of flow trails that will cater to a wide variety of riding styles and ability levels as well!
As Washington state continues to further develop it's mountain bike trail network we're working hard to ensure that The Summit lift-accessed trails will be true to the PNW yet allow access for all. Working with the EMBA team we aim to make The Summit Bike Park a distinctive experience for everyone.
We have been working closely with our partners in recreation at the United States Forest Service. The project has made significant progress in recent weeks and we plan to have additional information about the project on public land this fall. Stay tuned!
TRAIL BUILDING
-
Central DH TrailThis trail is proposed to be a fun, yet highly technical expert downhill trail making the most of the fall line through the trees and rock slabs of Summit Central. A throwback to the raw and rowdy days of our past.
-
Blue Tech LineCurrently nicknamed "Lost & Found" (for all the equipment we've been finding!), this intermediate level technical trail will combine a variety of features and a smidge of flow to aid in the mix of progression.
-
Connector TrailsPart of building on private land means we need a fun flowy trail to send riders back to the Silver Fir Chair.

The trails we're building this summer are steeper and more technical and will cater more toward our intermediate to expert riders. In the next phase of construction we plan to build plenty of trails that will be perfect for the whole family and all ability levels.
