MOUNTAIN BIKE PARK
Enhancing the Reno/Tahoe Mountain Bike Experience
Through Community-Powered Trails
LEARN TO RIDE PROGRAMS
Our Riders in the Sky programs are uniquely designed for Youth (ages 8-13), Women-Inclusive, and Adult classes. All clinics are offered for beginner to intermediate riders unless otherwise noted. Our clinic calendar operates from June through September.
Our Youth clinics are designed to teach courage and self-confidence through the basics of bike handling — braking, body positioning, and shifting — via fun drills and games.
Legendary for its mountain bike culture, Reno/Tahoe’s prominent trail hub is as essential to the community as it is destination-worthy. Nowhere in the community is the next generation of public-powered trail progression occurring as rapidly and enthusiastically as Sky Tavern.
Elevating the region’s mountain bike experience at 8,000 ft., Sky Tavern’s approach is as unique as it is trailblazing: a publicly accessible, community-funded bike park designed from the ground up (literally) to be accessible to all riders despite their ability.

WOMEN-INCLUSIVE PROGRESSION SERIES (AGES 14+)
Step up your riding game with our 3-day Progression Series, our most popular adult program. This series groups participants relative to skill level, developing our skills and confidence as our coaches set goals, critique, and provide feedback to create lasting progress in our riding.
ADULT CLINICS (ALL GENDER, AGES 14+)
Our Adult clinics promote progression in riding, gaining confidence, and new skills. Each clinic will focus on several specific skills, followed by a guided ride where we will hone our skills on the trail.
TEEN GRAVITY SERIES (AGES 12-17)
Ready to take on the challenge of enduro and gravity racing? This series is designed for young riders who aspire to sharpen their braking, perfect body positioning, confidently handle rocky and steep terrain, and improve their air skills. Note: This is an advanced series—not an introduction to mountain biking. Newer riders should start with our youth or teen/adult clinics to build the foundational skills needed to participate.

Support sky tavern’S MOUNTAIN biking trails
Trails don’t build themselves. 100% of the costs of trail building and maintenace at Sky Tavern are covered by fundraising. Donations from the community are the foundation of public trail access. With fundraising efforts, the construction of new trails can be put on the fast track. If you enjoy shredding Sky Tavern, please contribute to the next phases of trail development.
