Included in the price of a ticket is a camping pass, access to the jump park and T-bar lift, and unlimited shuttles for riding the trails.
During the festival there are several competitions, including the Hillbilly Huckshoot video contest, klunker racing, whip-off comp, the impossible bike challenge and beer pong just to add that American college vibe. The valley is also home to a wider network of trails, and festivalgoers have the option to book onto daily guided rides.

Former Mountain Biking UK features editor Ed Thomsett is a downhiller at heart but has been riding bikes of all types since a young age. He's raced both nationally and internationally in downhill and enduro, and has spent several summers living in the Alps and Canada, riding, roadtripping and living the dirtbag lifestyle.
He's also an avid trail builder and has scraped out numerous steep and technical lines in the woodlands of his native North Yorkshire. These days Ed will happily turn his hand to any discipline and believes the sign of a good week is when every bike in his shed ends up muddy by the end of it. Sign up to receive our newsletter!
