Last year the trail crew built over eleven miles of trail, making this season the biggest to date!



With over 40 miles of trail, and 24 miles of new trail this year on the tip of the shovel to be made in 2012, Angel Fire Bike Park is making a big statement in the bike park industry this year. Plans this year include; major expansion in Candyland, new 12 mile xc loop on the backside of the mountain, four new gravity trails, the completion of boulder dash, upgraded drop zone, and last but not least, improvements to all existing trails with a big budget for bridges!



Bike park director Hogan Koesis says, "Senior management wants to see 100+ miles within the next few years, a daunting task, yes, but we've got an ambitious trail crew this year, and a ton of resources to throw at the project, so we're all super stoked to be a part of the revolution that this mountain has been waiting on for quite some time”.



Lift-tickets are still cheap at $26 a day and a season pass is only $229, which includes three free days at Trestle Bike Park. Angel Fire Bike Park is also offering great deals on stay-and-ride packages starting at $59pn/pp.
