Lift accessed mountain biking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lift accessed mountain biking is a summer activity that is spreading all over the world. Using the chairlifts or gondola lifts at a ski area, mountain bikers can get up to higher altitudes quickly. The bikers don't have to ride up, and the ski area operators can keep the hill more profitable during the summer. Most bike parks have a mix of dirtjumping, downhill and freeride terrain on the trails.
Many ski resorts have embraced the sport, opening the chairlifts and building trails to rider in the summer. Lift-accessed bike parks are good because they offer the chance to make 10 runs down a mountain that without the lift you could maybe do 2 or 3. Many resorts in the world are doing this as a means to be profitable in the summer.
