I love trestle! It literally the best downhill mountain bike park. I've come here a few times and the team is so helpful and kind. I enjoy my time here as everything is quickly in and out to getting things done. If you rent a bike from them you get about a 50% discount on the lift ticket. It's awesome and they also updated their gaundillas to take the bike up. This place is great for a full day of fun! read more

Are you tired of biking uphill but enjoy the thrill of downhill? If so, then located in Winter Park, Colorado, Trestle Bike Park is just for you.It is a lift-served bike park.I believe I am qualified to write a review because I have been mountain biking for several years, and I have done similar lift-served bike parks at other places. I heard about Trestle from many friends and how great it was. My first reason for recommendation is that it offers a lot of terrain; nearby bike park Granby Ranch only has 24 trails and one lift, while Trestle offers 63 trails and 3 lifts. My second reason is convenience to Denver; it's only one hour and thirty-two minutes away. Making it perfect for day trips, another benefit is that it is well before Idaho Springs (a town notorious for traffic). My final reason for recommending this experience is its superiority to the other popular bike park, Breckenridge. From my experience, I found it to be crowded due to the excessive amount of tourists and other mountain activities. Another critical issue with Breckenridge is that the lifts all start at the base, meaning that you are forced to battle the crowds at the base every time you wish to go up. As Trestle has two lifts on the mountain. I would recommend this experience to a novice biker with experience mountain biking beforehand. Due to the amount of advance trails. Some things to know are that the opening dates can vary for the season.The location is Winter Park resort. The ticket price is $70 USD. Season passes are offered. You should buy one if you are going for more than one week.I would not go on a holiday weekend due to heavy I-70 traffic. read more

**BUYER BEWARE** (Also, be prepared for a long read) I was in the store on the 15th of July and was looking to purchase a downhill biking helmet. I was helped by an employee of the store and soon after left with my helmet that I had thought would fit. Well, it didn't. I returned about 45 minutes later to see if I would be able to just exhange the helmet for a bigger size, but boy was I wrong. IMMEDIATELY upon walking in to the store I was approached by the employee who had "fitted" me for the helmet. Instantly he was rude, aggressive and not friendly at all. He told me that while I was being fitted that he mentioned that there are no returns on helmets (which is true about the no returns, but not true that he mentioned their policy to me). After this encounter I was speechless at the lack of customer service or just even being polite to the customer who just spent $300 in your store just prior. I returned back to my family to tell them I was not going to be able to exchange the product. My father in law overheard the conversation and TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF to see how he could possibly talk with someone to get the problem resolved. He walked back into the store, I shortly after. We were not prepared for what was coming. Again the same employee began yelling and screaming at us telling us that they have a policy that doesn't allow for returns of NEARLY EVERY ITEM IN THEIR STORE! So our response was, how are you able to do business in todays online retail world knowing almost every company out their take returns on items even before seeing or hearing why a customer returns an item. Apparently that question set the employee off as he then began running up and down the counter behind the cash register flailing his arms around like a disgruntled infant. While this was happening another employee (who's name I do not know, but his height was all telling of his outlook on others) told me that I needed to get the F**k out of the store. So since someone who had no relevancy to the situation decided to insert themselves, I decided to let him know that he was going to have to get his manager to tell me to leave. (Keep in mind that at this time, neither my Father in law, nor myself raised our voice or made it known to the other customers of the store that we were upset). After these comments another very nice and polite young female employee had asked us to step to a different part of the store, and in so happily did. I waited for the manager to arrive and spoke with him (Marshall). He was very polite, and understanding of why I was there but just as his subordinates has stated before, they have a strict return policy. I had also mentioned to Marshall that I would be willing to pay an additional 50% for the helmet that fit right if I could just exchange the smaller one. That fell on deaf ears as Marshall told me that " We are in the business of making money" word, for, word. Once I realized that this situation was going no where fast, I asked Marshall for his contact info, along with the helmets sales rep info, and the companies (for the helmet) customers service info. This incident was not only uncalled for but hands down the most UNPROFESSIONAL customer service experience that I have seen not only in my life but on the internet. I say this cause the EMPLOYEES, not the customers acted as if the customer are replaceable and more of a nuisance. This could've all been alleviated had the employee said "Hey man, I know that your helmet doesn't fit you properly and I am sorry for that, but there is really nothing I can do since we have a strict no return policy on helmets". BING BANG BOOM, problem resolved. I would've contacted the manufacturer to see what they could help with (and guess what, they got me the exact helmet I was looking for). All in all I will not be back to not only this store but ANY WINTERPARK facility. And I will also let all of my family and friends know of the lack of empathy and professionalism this establishment conveyed on this day. It was clear that since your location is a tourist destination and that "we won't have to deal with them again" mentality. Well unfortunately I, as well as a lot of of other customers do live in Colorado, and I will be attending places that DO want returning business, not just to operate to "make a profit". read more

The only other bike park that I've gone to is Northstar in CA. I have to say I REALLY like this place! Nice long trails with all types of terrain. The staff is super nice. The lift tickets are really reasonable $40something? Apparently it rains a lot here, which is nice because it keeps all the dust down. The downside is that if there thunder or lightening they shut down the lifts. The other upside is that if it's closed more than 65 minutes you can get a free pass for another day. Overall a great place! Hope to go back soon. read more

Excellent, knowledgeable, friendly staff. Great selection of merchandise. Highly recommend.

I don't know who manages trestle but whoever you are thanks for keeping the true culture of dh mtb alive! What do I mean? The people here are friendly and not pushy or rude most of the time. I regularly see dudes with tools in their packs fixing strangers bikes & sending them off with a free tube & words of encouragement, NOW THAT'S TRUE DH MTB CULTURE! The employees even seem like happy campers to me, i enjoy spending lots of time here every summer, it's my favorite place! Their reviews speaks for themselves, the only negative review is from a cross country jerry from Illinois complaining about rental bike sizes. Any business doing this well on an unbiased review system such as yelp is absolutely killing it, thanks trestle! read more

Had an awesome first time trying out dh mountain biking. Staff was very friendly, from me getting checked in, making sure all my rental gear fit well and getting me set up with a bike. Expect to pay about $230/day mountain biking here, which includes lift ticket, bike, gear and insurance. read more

Tried downhill mountain biking at Trestle last week. I bike, but have never done any serious mountain biking. If ya want a pro's review, go look in some real mtb forums. If you're a curious Yelper, read on... It was a blast!! Two of us went, and took full advantage of the website coupon (must print out ahead of time!) for 2-for-1 Wednesdays. Two of us got bikes, gear (inc. spiffy full-face helmets, armor-plated shirts, knee-and-shin guards and gloves) and a lesson for $120. Oh, plus a lift ticket. Now, I almost never do lessons. I hate the group thing, I hate waiting for others to flail, I hate others watching me flail...but am I glad the guys at the rental place unabashedly pressured us into it. My wife, far smarter than me, wanted to do the lesson. "But the lesson is only 3.5 hours, and if we get the package with the lift ticket instead, we can ride all day!" I whined. Still, there was a lot of pressure. Good thing I caved. John could've been my son, but was super-patient with two forty-something ladies as he drew the short stick and was assigned to teach the two of us. We did know which brake controls the rear wheel (right, here in the US) and that is the good one to use...if you wind up using the left brake hard you will throw yourself off your bike. Anyhoo, John grabbed us and our bikes and took us up the lift to the top. The lift was a bit difficult at first--you load your bikes onto a rack (it moves fast) and then you catch the seat behind it. Lucky, John was there to save me the first time. By the end of the day I got it... The lesson was a lot of fun. We started out on a baby hill, learning the 'stance' and how to 'angulate'. Downhill biking is different--you don't corner much like a road bike at all, you keep most of your weight on the front tire, and you stand on the pedals most of the time with your feet level, letting gravity do the work. John spent time making sure we got the basics, then down trail we went... WHEE!!!! Not pedaling is fun! We took Green World (Road?) a lot. Easy, mostly wide, and some initially scary berms that we soon learned to take pretty fast! The bikes will roll over most anything. John was forever patient with us, even telling us "Good Job!" when we screwed up the tight-turny singletrack he took us on. He said we could ride any blues or greens on the mountain, but as first-timers, the greens were more fun (less technical, more swoopy). And swoopy it was. Lots of fun to just control your ride down the mountain, trust the bike, and look like a badass. Oh, and we felt like we were having more fun that the poor folks who didn't have a clue, were sitting on their saddles trying to ride down the mountain...would've been us if we hadn't taken a lesson. Overall, great, not scary for anyone who can control a bike & who is a bit adventurous, and bonus to the guys who let us keep the bikes past lesson-time for one more ride up the mountain. We were pretty tired, but grateful! Good business move, we will be back! Yes, expect to be scared when you're riding up the lift (no snow! Weird! Uhh, what did we get ourselves into, I'm dressed like a gladiator!) but after the first ten minutes you'll be fine. Have fun! read more

Don't rent here especially if you have kids. Called in the morning to see about lesson and rentals for the midday session. We were told it wouldn't be a problem. Showed up an hour before the lesson would start, no bikes to rent. Employee said his boss told him not to rent anything else, then said he was technically the supervisor at the moment but was told not to rent anything. He told us to come back in an hour, no luck. Then told us to try the rental shop at the other side of the village. Nothing there either and found out they only started with THREE of the bikes we would have needed for our 7 year old. We were then told to come back 3:30-4 to try for the twilight ride. Still nothing. I can't imagine a ski shop running out of gear to rent, not sure why bike season is so drastically different. Save yourself four hours of disappointment and the tears of your children. read more

This place is hands-down number one! In addition to killer trails, the staff is too notch and extremely friendly. If you downhill, come here ASAP! read more

Super knowledgeable and helpful staff. They wanted to make sure everything was tuned and in working order for the best experience.

I signed up for the Trestle 101 course since this was my first experience with downhill riding. I have ridden singletrack trails in the Chicago area a half dozen times, so in our first visit to Winter Park I wanted see what this park has to offer. Jake was an excellent instructor for our 4 person lesson group. He spent time interacting with each of us individually to make sure we picked up on his tips and instructions. We focused on pedal position, stance, speed, tilt, cornering, braking, etc. It was not a lot of new information but it was good review of the basics with enough time to practice before hitting the trails. Jake expertly led our group to the bottom of the mountain, making sure we stayed together and had breather breaks. We stayed entirely on the green trails but that was appropriate for the group and the ride was was physically challenging for a reasonably athletic person with some singletrack experience. If you are new to mountain biking, you might consider the Intro to Trestle lesson instead. read more

See all

Did a 101 lesson here with a bit of moto and xc experience. It was a great time. Instructor (Scott) was friendly, patient, and helpful. He matched the riding perfectly to our experience level starting on green trails before progressing to blues. Never felt bored or like I was riding over my head. Bike rental was in great condition. No issues whatsoever. Helmet selection is a bit of a challenge if you have a big noggin. Bring your own if you can but they have options for most people.... Was just a little tight for my buddy. read more

So awesome. Great park with everything from easy to super challenging. Beautiful scenery. And ask for Angela for lessons she was awesome

First time to a bike park and was blown away. I didn't even know how to get my bike on the chair lift! If you go, first day take a lesson. Dan Harper was the bomb! I was a long time rider and he was able to teach me so much! After the lesson I was a way better rider and had a good layout of the park. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Trails are really progressive meaning you can ride green trails for a while then move up to blue then black. The trails are well built and well thought out. If there was one issue that was not an issue for me is most of the more popular runs require a small uphill pedal. On a full DH bike a pain but on an Enduro or trail bike not a problem. My daughter who wasn't into riding much decided to go with me one day and after that I couldn't get her off the trails. She loved it! Trails range from smooth to rocky. Trails do well in the rain/wet. I have never been to another bike park but after coming here I don't want to go anywhere else. read more

Don't rent here if you're big or tall. Lots of bikes that afternoon, none were extra large and they were very good at telling me my bike was big enough. As a result I could neve sit down on my seat. Additionally they insist on so much safety equipment....we were the most protected riders on the hill. The private guide/lesson was a plus but the ill-fitting equipment ruined the experience and drained my wallet. Wiser now. read more

First off I bought a 2-day pass that could be used until Sept. 1st. Then when I get to the park, they say it's not valid. So I pay for a day. The trails here are good, however their online purchasing needs a lot of help. Also, there are little kids, under 6 years old, riding on black diamonds and crashing. Their entire family stopped on the trail around a blind fast corner. Old people hiking bikes and stopping on the trails. I won't be back. This place is meant to rail the downhill, but you simply can't with all the noobs standing and blocking trails. There are better alternatives. read more

Just came back from three hours of great instruction and challenging courses from Christian at the Trestle Bike Park. Thanks for everything!

Great DH bike park. Variety of trails for all skill types, knowledgable staff, and top notch bike shop. My son took a spill and the bike patrol was fantastic about patching him up and getting us back on the trails. read more

Great people, great equipment and great downhill trails to fly down. One of my top 3 all time fav sports.

Our first time here and we loved it! We did full day passes with a guide. I highly suggest the guide your first time as the trails can be a bit confusing. All of the staff were great. Awesome bike selection. If you can go during the week there are a lot less bikes on the trail. The weekends are packed. read more
