Chairlift access to Wentworth Mountain Bike Park’s Lift Zone opens for the 2024 season. The opening date is July 6th, weather conditions permitting.
The trail development plan for the 2024 season includes a gentle, flowing green trail for novice riders, blue freedride trail, blue technical trail, and an expert-only black jump line. These trails will be available once chairlift access begins. The existing Outer Limits, Hillbilly and Bugs will also be open. Construction on a black freeride trail under the chairlift begins summer 2024.
