Mountain bike park to open three weeks early at Lee Canyon

A silver lining to the poor winter season in the West: Lee Canyon’s downhill mountain bike park will open three weeks ahead of schedule.

Starting Friday, riders will have early-season access to the lift-served terrain in the Spring Mountains, northwest of the Las Vegas Valley. The snow resort’s winter season ended March 22.

The Bluebird lift will serve riders from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

Lee Canyon’s regular summer operations begin May 22. But starting Friday, mountain bikers can hit the blue (intermediate) and black (expert) trails. The 2.2-mile green (beginner) trail will open in the coming weeks.

Tickets start at $15 and are on sale at leecanyonlv.com.

Other events

Lee Canyon will host its first Cinco de Mayo celebration from noon to 4 p.m. May 3, with live music from Los Nuevos de Culiacán, food and drink specials, margaritas and micheladas. Scenic chair rides will also be offered.

The third annual Bike Fest is set for June 13, and the Beer and Loaming MTB Race is scheduled for Sept. 26. In the meantime, the Viva La Gravity Race Series will happen July 16 and 30, as well as Aug. 13 and Sept. 24.

Mountainside yoga returns May 10.
