New bike park coming to Snowbasin resort

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Mountain sports enthusiasts, brace your selves! Snowbasin Resort has announced that it will be beginning construction of a new lift-serve bike park next summer.

The bike park will open with four to five trails and room to expand in future seasons. According to the resort, from beginner-friendly trails to intermediate and advanced flow trails, the park will have it all.

The new bike park has been announced in collaboration with SCOTT USA, a Switzerland-based provider of high-performance outdoor sporting goods. It’s American office is based in Ogden.

The resort has also been named an Olympic venue for the second time, selected as the official Alpine Skiing venue, at the upcoming 2034 Salt Lake Winter Olympics.
