WEST REGION

1. Sky Tavern Bike Park DH Trail

   Sponsor: Sky Tavern Bike Park Advisory Group

   Description: With lift-served access on the outskirts of Reno, the Sky Tavern Bike Park already provides a downhill track and a dual slalom course.

2. Exchequer Mountain Bike Park
   Location: Mariposa, CA
   Sponsor: Merced Irrigation District

   Description: The Bell Built trail will be a highlight of a new bike park located within two hours of the Bay Area, home of hundreds of thousands of mountain bikers. With a handful of trails already in place the gravity run will challenge riders and offer panoramic views of the open terrain.

3. Chutes and Ladders (Alsea Falls)
   Location: Alpine, OR
   Sponsor: BLM + Team Dirt

   Description: Tucked into the Oregon Coast Range, "Chutes and Ladders" will be the most difficult trail in this rapidly developing network. The steep, forested terrain will offer opportunities for chutes, roots, rocks, and built features over the 900' vertical drop.

CENTRAL REGION

1. Red Rock Park MTB
   Location: Gallup, NM
   Sponsor: Adventure Gallup and Beyond

   Sponsor: Bicycle Ruidoso

   Description: The Cedar Creek DH trail will pass through ravines and down ridgelines as it descends through an open conifer forest. At 1.3 miles, the trail will take advantage of the natural terrain but also highlight big jumps and berms for a breathtaking descent.

3. Spirit Mountain Bike Park
   Location: Duluth, MN
   Sponsor: Cyclists of Gitchee Gumee Shores (COGGS)
