Keystone isn't opening a bunch of the good trails this year.

"some of the bike park’s traditional trails will not open this year, but may open again in future years. That includes TNT, Logger’s Way, High Speed Dirt and Jam Rock."

Snow mass is fun. I raced DH at a mountain states cup there a while back. Definitely worth it. There also was an EWS held there 4-5 years ago.

snowmass is a fun mountain. not crowded lots of vert. and a good mix of trails. I haven't ridden it in a couple seasons but I know they added 3-4 new trails recently

Snowmass vs Granby vs Keystone?
Sorry guys for all the questions. I just wish we would have a dedicated Colorado DH/BIKE park website.for real wheel time experience.

Forget Granby..

Keystone is not as terrific this year as it used to be.

Snowmass is fun

Not sure how Granby is as of late but I raced there back in 2009 for the national champs. I love it! They have since added a lot of trails. Not a huge amount of vert and not too many flow trails. Lots of chunk.

I’ve also raced Keystone. It’s another chunky place with more old school trails. Some awkward switch backs, but overall fun too.

Out of the three you mentioned I would lean towards Snowmass. You really can’t go wrong with bike parks. They are all fun.
