HCDH Fall Series – Final Stop

Hill Country Downhill (HCDH) returns, offering downhill mountain bike racers another chance at glory. Experience true, Texas lift-served DH racing across fresh tracks at each stop. HCDH is a year-round downhill race at Spider Mountain, the only year-round, lift-served bike park in the US. The HCDH Fall Series comprises three stops, with $1500 in cash prizes for overall series winners in pro categories.

Recap of stop #2 of the HCDH fall series

The third and final stop will go down on December 14th, 2024 with our winter series starting on January 18th, 2025.

All racers must purchase a $39 lift ticket or have a valid season pass. Other riders and spectators can save on their tickets by clicking here and buying early. Spectators must purchase a $20 ticket at the ticket window even if they aren’t riding. This gives access to scenic chair rides to watch on the mountain and the area by the lake to relax during the downtime.

All non-racing trails will be open to the public and spectators are encouraged!!
