Aspen Snowmass will host the BME Finals for 2019. The two-day event will blend high altitude riding adventures mixed with some of the biggest descents and best riding in the area, some of which trails seldom open to the public. Expect a heavy pro field and new and revised courses from previous years. The combination of Aspen Mountain, Snowmass Bike Park terrain and the surrounding trails within the valley offer some of the most diverse mountain biking in the country.

Aspen Mountain and Snowmass Bike Park are the only lift served biking in the U.S. that can take riders on 4,000-foot descents, beginning above tree line and ending in the high mountain desert. Over the 2 days, racers can expect to see 5 to 6 stages, over 12,000 feet of descending and 3,000 feet of climbing. With both lift served and pedal transitions to start lines and a wide variety of raw terrain and big descents, racers are in for a treat.

Snowmass has supported mountain biking and gravity riding for over 17 years going back to the NORBA Nationals and World Cup Downhill racing days. Throughout all the years, Aspen Snowmass has remained progressive every step of the way and the local crew is excited to showcase this venue to the mountain bike world, which will be the fifth and final stop on the BME tour.
