WILMINGTON — The Whiteface Mountain Bike Park opens Saturday, June 15 for its 24th consecutive year.

Whiteface Mountain Ski Center is one of the oldest lift-serviced mountain bike parks in the East and has trails from expert natural single track to beginner cruisers.

The High Peaks Cyclery crew, which has run the park for the past 14 summers, will return. There is a full-service shop with rental gear available.

From the summit of Little Whiteface, reached via the Cloudsplitter Gondola, trails are expert-only. Big bikes, helmets and full pads are the norm here. So are tight turns, big rocks and steep drops. Expect each run to take about 40 minutes.
