Which mountains near Salt Lake City are open in the summer for downhilling? Do they rent DH/FR bikes?

Going there for a wedding in June and would like to a lift assisted mountain since SoCal doesn't have one any longer.

Deer Valley runs lifts, and opens mid to late June snow permitting. Sundance runs lifts,starting end or may, or first week of june or so. There are also usually shuttle running, esp on the weekends and the Bountiful trails just North of SLC. As above, call go-ride (go-ride.com) and they'll know whats up.

PM sent...with the big snowpack this year a lot of the upper elevation stuff may not be rideable in early June. Bountiful may be an option depending on how the melt is going by then...

Bountiful is rideable now, but a bit washed out due to run off. You have to hike through snow up to the race course start, and the first 200-300 yards is packed snow, then it's fine the rest of the way. Bruce/wake up/ firing range/ stupid etc although all short are good to go.

DV, PCMR, Solitude, Sunda.ce

DV and Sundance have DH runs, and if you know the right people (ala me), Solitude and PC do as well. Solitude is liable to not be rideable in June, the tops of the other resorts is likely not to be as well. I'll send you a PM.

Forgot Snowbasin and Snowbird...as far as I know, there's nothing built at the Bird, but there's illegal stuff at Snowbasin.
