DOUBLE DOWN DH

You asked, and we listened. We’re throwing our hat in the ring and kicking off a downhill race built for the biggest and the best.

Drop in for the Double Down Downhill at Bolton Valley, a full weekend of lift-served racing designed for riders who want to go fast, push limits, and send it.

Taking place August 15–16, 2026, this event is all about dialing your line and committing when it counts. Day one is qualifiers, where riders will lay down their fastest runs to earn a spot in finals. Day two is finals, same course, higher stakes, and one more shot to put it all together.

Registration starts at $90 through 5/13 and includes entry to the race plus lift access for both days, regardless of whether you qualify for finals. That means more laps, more time to fine-tune your approach, and a full weekend of riding no matter what. Professional timing will be provided by Eleven11 Timing to keep things tight and competitive.

Categories include Pro Men, Amateur Men, Pro Women, Amateur Women, Grom Boys, and Grom Girls.

Free camping will be available in the lower lots all weekend, making it easy to settle in and stay close to the action. If you’re looking for a little more comfort, on-site lodging is available just steps from the lifts and can be booked in advance. Off the bike, expect a mix of high-energy racing and laid-back bike park vibes, with music, food, and plenty of time to hang in the village after a full day of riding.

Bring your bike, your gear, and everything you need to ride hard for two days. Full face helmets and protective gear are mandatory. Start thinking about your line, because when it’s time to drop in, there’s only one move left to make. Double Down.

Fast, technical and just plain fun! Come out and explore what Bolton Valley Resort has to offer. We will be running Qualifying on saturday and then the big show down on Sunday.

Grab a team of 4 or more.. and on Sunday we will also be doing team times! Adding all members times together for the final results!
