AND A JUMP PARK
The Northstar Resorts trail crew created the 2six Jump Park. It has small, medium, and large lines that allow riders to improve their skills. Three lines are available: table tops, doubles, large doubles, and small doubles. Riders can transition between them by placing them together. The 2six Jump Park can be found off Village Run near the Lower Mineshaft.
The trail crew at Northstar Resort Mountain Bike park Manager Kyle Crezee has been hard at work to improve the trails. This will not only provide more terrain for those who are interested in learning the sport, but also allow families to enjoy riding together on terrain that is suitable to all levels. Riders of all abilities will love Northstar’s variety of terrain and features. This includes Easy Rider and the newly built jump park.
