Lower trails dry out first; Mr. Toad’s and the Rim Trail wait for the high snow to melt. Check TAMBA’s conditions page before riding.

Trails and Bijou Bike Park are free; shuttles cost extra.
Corral’s jumps and the rocky plunge of Mr. Toad’s.
South Shore riding centers on the Corral area off Fountain Place Road, a dense web of trails with the most legal jumps, berms and log rides in town. From there riders climb Armstrong to the Tahoe Rim Trail and drop Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, a rocky six-mile descent that is a Tahoe rite of passage. In town, Bijou Bike Park adds slopestyle lines and pump tracks for skills days.
