Mountain Biking
Deer Valley enlisted With support from world-renowned bike resort development company, Gravity Logic, Deer Valley conducted improvements to existing trails and built a new intermediate downhill mountain bike “flow” trail in 2015. This new dream trail is machine excavated and in-sloped with berms, rollers and jumps. The trail is approximately four feet wide, as opposed to Deer Valley’s mostly single track trails, and leads from the top of Bald Mountain to Silver Lake. In addition to trail work with Gravity Logic, Deer Valley and Park City’s Mountain Trails Foundation have partnered to create an extension of the Mid Mountain trail. These improvements make Deer Valley a prime destination for mountain bikers looking for action-packed getaways in the area.
