In 2020, the entire Roaring Fork Valley was deemed a Gold-Level Ride Center by the International Mountain Bike Association, which honors the world's best destinations for mountain bikers of all levels. Get your adrenaline pumping on some on-mountain downhill trails at Snowmass Bike Park or just cruise around our picturesque valley and enjoy the sights. You can't go wrong here.

Let's start with the basics. What type of biking are you interested in doing?

Downhill Mountain Biking

Downhill/Enduro bikes are built for stability at speeds and confidence in steep and rocky terrain. Downhill/Enduro Bike Rentals are your best bet to enjoy your day in the Snowmass Bike Park safely and confidently. All Downhill/Enduro Bike Rentals include helmet and pad rental.


Mountain Biking

Lighter than downhill bikes, mountain bikes will save you some extra work while you're climbing uphill between downhill sections, allowing you to get more out of your day and your legs!

Mountain bikes are not intended for use in Snowmass Bike Park and pads are NOT included. If you're planning a day at the bike park, you may be looking for a Downhill Bike Rental instead.

E-Biking

E-bikes are perfect for the individual or family who want to explore the Aspen area or take a ride up to Maroon Bells without a strenuous workout. Pedal to your destination instead of driving on your next excursion.
