Photo: Ten Mile Canyon path / Summit County vistaWe've lived and worked here forty years. Here's where we'd actually send you — not a list scraped off a tourist board.
Summer
Some of the best paved recreation path riding anywhere in the country, and it's all connected. You can ride from Frisco to Breckenridge, Copper or Vail without touching a road.
Photo: Vail Pass pathThe classic. We drive you to the summit and you roll fourteen paved miles down Ten Mile Canyon back into Frisco. Mostly downhill, no traffic, big scenery the whole way.
Photo: Frisco PeninsulaA whole network of easy singletrack and dirt road on the peninsula between Frisco and the reservoir. Great for a first time on dirt, and you can ride to it from the shop. Trail map — Frisco Adventure Park →
Photo: Ten Mile CanyonNine gentle miles along the Blue River on a paved path. Coffee at one end, brewery at the other. The ride most families end up doing twice.
Photo: Peaks TrailProper mountain biking — roots, rocks and real climbing between Frisco and Breckenridge. Take the full suspension for this one.
Photo: Dillon Reservoir loopCircle the reservoir through Frisco, Dillon, Keystone and Silverthorne. Mostly paved, a proper day, and the views never stop.
Photo: Copper pathTen miles up Ten Mile Canyon to Copper Mountain. A steady climb out and a genuinely fun descent home. Good e-bike route.
Winter
Five world-class mountains within about forty minutes of the Frisco shop. Here's the honest version of who each one suits.
Photo: Copper MountainNaturally divided terrain — beginners on one side, experts on the other, so groups can split up and still meet for lunch. We have a shop right at the base.
Photo: BreckenridgeFive peaks and the best ski town main street in Colorado. Busy on weekends and holidays — worth an early start.
Photo: KeystoneLong cruising groomers, excellent for families, and the only place around here with proper night skiing. Kids ski free deals are common.
Photo: Arapahoe BasinSteep, high, no-nonsense skiing that often runs into June. Not a beginner's mountain, and it doesn't pretend to be.
Photo: VailEnormous, and the Back Bowls are worth the drive at least once. Forty minutes west over the pass in good conditions.
Photo: Loveland Ski AreaHigh-alpine skiing just over the Continental Divide, with a local feel and a long season. Check road and weather conditions before heading up.
Photo: nordic centreFrisco has its own Nordic centre on the peninsula, plus miles of free trails. A good rest-day option that doesn't cost a lift ticket.
Reserve a bike and we'll get you pointed the right way. The Vail Pass shuttle is free with any all-day rental.
Reserve your gear online; paperwork is done before you arrive and fitting happens in the shop. Two locations, including on-mountain at Copper.
