Bike Lessons

Bike instructor teaches lesson on how to corner a berm in the skills park

Our lift-served trails require a certain level of experience to negotiate, and lessons are highly recommended and encouraged. With expert instruction and separate learning terrain areas, you can progress your downhill and/or cross-country mountain bike skills in a fun and low-risk environment, or work on tackling tougher trails and certain features.

Learn the basics, brush up on your skills or take a guided tour with the Purgatory Bike Park team! Lessons meet at Purgatory Cycle Works bike shop, located on the 2nd floor of the Village Center building.
