Embrace the snow with fat tire biking at Crystal Mountain this winter. With an extensive trail system and premium rental equipment, there's plenty to explore off the slopes, and it starts with Crystal's six miles of winter bike trails.
Fat tire bike rentals are available at our Cross-Country Center, located .7 miles from Kinlochen on Mountain Center Road.
Trail passes are required for all bikers and are included with our rentals. Trails are open daily during day-time hours, weather permitting. Bike rentals are available daily beginning at 9am on a first-come, first-served basis. Bike rentals are available until approximately one-hour before sunset.
Bike trails are groomed when our Cross-Country trails are groomed. Best conditions for fat tire snow biking are hard packed trails with a four inch base. Trails may close without notice due to warm-ups. For the most up-to-date trail conditions, call the Cross-Country Center at 231-378-3110.
