The Descent Project

The Descent Project

Lift-served. Family-tested. Western US.

Skiing and lift-served mountain biking for families who ride — resort deep dives, trip logistics, and junior racing culture, written from a Park City base by a family that spends its winters on snow and its summers on bike-park laps.

Resorts, In Depth

Deep dives on Western US ski resorts and bike parks — terrain, logistics, and what actually matters when you bring the whole family.

Trip Logistics

Planning guides for ski and bike-park trips with kids — where to stay, when to go, and how to keep costs from running away.

Racing Culture

The junior ski-racing world from the inside — training blocks, race weekends, and what the season really looks like for a racing family.
