Mountain Biking Blue Mountain
#13 of 308 mountain bike trails in Ontario
Blue Mountain Ski resort provides various leveled downhill runs. you need a specific bike for this place. Basically to enjoy this place a bike with 140mm is a required piece of equipment. Bring a full face helmet and armor. You can rent everything there as well. Very fun fast trails with high birms as well as knarly rooted rocky runs.
Just a great place to go fast and enjoy Freestyling and Dh running. Some runs are not for the faint of heart. Some can actually really hurt if your not used to this level of runs. Follow the trail marker levels.
I recommend tires that are at least 2.3 wide and fairly agressive. If you have a tire that has good transitional knobs that would be ideal. A Nevegal or Chunder would work well.

Toured around through Sea otter festival and biked up to the top and of an earlier set up enduro climb . Amazing run back down trails were dry and dusty .
| ThankAwesome took my 4" squish 29er , definitely at the end of the bikes ability , but I'll be back all the same and bring my bike again
These trails are awesome and a real test of your skills but with common sense anyone with experience can ride here and have a lot of fun
Well done builders
| ThankThe only place for proper DH ! Did the lessons and was a huge help for my first TIME . Fell in love on the first RUN - so many trails of every level - extremely well maintained . Would live there if I could!
| ThankThere is a real range of trails down the mountain (good for a first time DH'er like me). I worked my way from green to black runs and loved it.
I thought I'd try and get a comparison between bikes so rode the first few easier trails on my FSR Stumpy. Queue Skippy, bouncy, squirly handling that raised the heart rate a little but was still fun and rideable.
I then jumped on a Rocky Mountain Flatline, first time on a proper DH rig, and the difference was undeniable. Felt much more stable but learning to throw it into the corners more aggressively took some getting used to.
It was a dusty, rocky, rooty, twisty, fast rollercoaster and although I had a couple of minor spills, the helmet and armour (rented from the store at the bottom of the hill) kept everything where it was supposed to be.
A great place to ride but there are definitely opportunities to hurt yourself. Wear armour, start easy and work your way up to the really hard stuff.
| ThankTook my first DH lesson here and loved it! Definitely headed back next summer. Recommended for anyone interested in DH. Take a lesson if it's your first time!
| ThankFast fun trails and steep white-knuckle trails. Best DH in Ontario by far. Decent length runs. Good for beginners to more experienced riders.
| ThankDH freeride hill. 15 runs that are awsome. They vary from flowing birms with high speed shuits to tight and twisty drops. Updated Haloe, Grab bag, Squeeker and Showcase have had minor changes, A few blue level trails added for those getting into DH.
