The vertical that draws skiers in the winter lures fat-tire aficionados in the summer. The 20 or so trails range from over-your-handlebar black-diamonds to meandering greens that span the ridgeline, so you don't have to be an experienced rider to check out the scene.

Tip: Sign up for a half-day workshop at Adventure Ridge, which also rents brand-new full- and front-suspension bikes.

Cost: $40, not including bike rentals
