Diablo reborn... Say Hello to Mountain Creek Bike Park
Mountain Biking Lives at Mountain Creek!

Paraphrasing another adventure guy Mark Twain, “The reports of the death of mountain biking at Mountain Creek have been greatly exaggerated.”
In fact, it is the beginning of a new era. Today Mountain Creek announced that the Mountain Creek Bike Park, formerly known as Diablo Freeride, will open for the 2012 season Saturday, May 5, 2012.
After a number of years of obviously eroding commitment and investment, Mountain Creek has taken control of the Bike Park with the intent to return to roots and bring the passion and energy back to lift-served riding in New Jersey.

One cool thing will be, All Mountain trails,on the other side of the mountain ,in the direction of where "Outlaw"goes , featuring man made skinnies ,jumps, and obsticals . A lot of State parks don't allow Building materials ,or man made structures .But this one may have some wild designs
100% wrong here, I ride there between 3 and 4 times a week, the old owner fired all the trail crew and did no maintenence for the last season, and ran it into the ground, he canceled all the events and decided not to pay out on the race series, the us open shrinks every year as the prizes and format continues to decline. The old owner was more or less evicted and forced out because of all the problems he was causing with his mountain and the problems for mountain creek. They have gotten all the old employees that MADE the old trails and basically turned the clock back to before shawn ruined it with his greed. Expect the place to be 100x better than it was. You can trust me that "diablo" getting kicked out was the best thing to happen to this resort. go to diablo's facebook, you see 80 comments, but only 10 are visual, this is because anybody who mentioned the new park or how they didnt like it got banned, like myself, and yourself if you post something other than "wha wha wha i loved diablo"
Descender: THe rumor i heard was Sean took the money for all the season passes and split ,which is untrue.Total misinformation!
The season passes will be honored by the new management
