Aiming to bring Colorado its first dedicated lift-accessed freeride downhill mountain bike park
Where will Shadow Mountain Bike Park be located?
The original park location was proposed on a parcel of State Land Trust property in Conifer, Colorado. The County leadership decided this wasn't quite the right fit for their community despite the numerous potential benefits. So we are now looking to bring those benefits to another location still to be determined in Colorado's front range.
Why build Shadow Mountain Bike Park?
The low-impact concept will open forest to the public and deliver wide-ranging benefits to the community. Shadow Mountain Bike Park will alleviate pressure on community public trail networks, and we’ll partner with Colorado Mountain Bike Association (COMBA) and other community advocates to provide a safe, responsible, and professionally managed place for users to enjoy the outdoors.
“A facility like this would offer an opportunity to enjoy mountain biking, and progress your skills, in a safer and more-controlled environment than is generally available on public trails. We see this as an important addition to the local inventory of mountain biking experiences.” – Gary Moore, Executive Director, COMBA.
What Shadow Mountain Bike Park is—and what it is not:
Shadow Mountain Bike Park would be a seasonal, day-use, mountain bike park that transforms the chairlift-access riding experience in Colorado. It will operate seasonally from roughly April through November, with an emphasis on being complementary to the property’s landscape and providing valuable stewardship of the land. This will be infrastructure dedicated to mountain biking, rider safety, skill development and progression, and trail excellence. We will have staff on site daily to support riders and their needs, offer rental bikes, maintain trails, and more. This will not be another ski resort, clear cutting operation, or other ideas. Colorado is lacking in dedicated mountain bike options and we aim to fill that void.
