The Blaine County Recreation District (BCRD) has introduced a new Fat Bike Only Season Pass for the 2025–2026 winter season, priced at just $75.
Until now, fat biking has been permitted on select trails (Quigley Dog Loop, Durance, and the Wood River Trail) but riders were still required to purchase the full Nordic season pass ($330). That system worked for those who skied as well, but it wasn’t ideal for people who only recreate with a fat bike.
This new pass changes that. By creating a specific price category, BCRD is making fat biking more economically accessible for riders who don’t also Nordic ski, while also formally recognizing fat bikers as a user group in our winter trail system.
For those who enjoy both sports, the Nordic pass is still the way to go for full access. But for anyone who’s dedicated to winter riding, this new option makes it easier — and more affordable — to enjoy the BCRD groomed trail system.
We’re excited to see BCRD take this step to support fat biking in the Wood River Valley. It’s another sign that our community continues to embrace all the ways people enjoy winter on our trails.
BCRD Winter Trail Passes go on sale October 13, 2025. You can purchase online and get more information here.
The Trailhead Bicycles is hosting a Fat Bike Pass Party on Wednesday, October 15, 2025 to kick-off the season. Join us at the Fat Bike Pass Party and learn more about our plans for the winter season as we grow our fat bike community.
