I've been there once or twice in the beging of the season. does anyone know if its any good now. it was amazing when i was there and just wondering if i should buy a season pass. a little out of date. i met the owner hes really cool and a great rider well when hes staying fast and low but when hes up to high he gets a little shaky

Hey man, I'm not 100% positive, but I don't think you'll be able to get back there at least until the mountain closes for the winter season. Even if you can, theres a good chance its either a muddy mess or still snow covered. If Dan or someone from his crew sees this they'll have a more definite answer, but I'm going with not gonna happen until blue closes for the winter/dan opens up the trails for the spring/summer.

As far as a season pass, its only $250 so if you're planning on riding there at least once a week, I'd say go for it. If not, keep in mind there's a discount at the end of the season as well (i got mine for $175 this past october)

Can't tell if this is serious or not, but the "water park" is going on the other side of the the ski trails, along the driveway to the summit lodge

Vertical Earth “ State of the Union “


As of Friday, February 26 Mountain Biking has been cancelled at the Vertical Earth Gravity Park at Blue Mountain Ski Resort. The mountain has decided to dedicate all resources to the future waterpark coming in 2012.


Even though disappointed, the past two years have been a dream come true and I thank Blue Mountain for the opportunity to build trails and promote races with local lift access. To all the riders, racers, supporters, sponsors, and park crew there are a mountain of memories, good vibes, laughs, adventures that will last a lifetime. New friendships were made, more people are riding, and I can’t thank everyone enough for making that happen. I can say at the end of one year the park averaged 60 people a day droppin’ in on the trails a lot of people had a hand in. I know many of you will be disappointed but mountain biking may not be gone for good, so hopefully when the waterpark is complete we may see the mountain bring it back. In the meantime, I look forward to getting on the bike and getting out to a few races this summer.


Season pass holders for the upcoming season, the mountain will be refunding passes starting next Friday. Thanks very much everyone for an awesome two years of livin’ the dream. Everybody keep it upright and I hope to see you on the trails!
