Charlie Sturgis submitted the town's application on behalf of the Mountain Trails Association and said receiving the award is an important milestone.
"This really shows that we have the whole deal dialed in, dirt bike parks, terrain parks, downhill and family-friendly trails," Sturgis said. "We also have hotels, restaurants and information that can be easily accessed by mountain bikers."
IMBA Communication Director Mark Eller said Park City fit all of the criteria for the award. On a scale of 100, Park City received a 96. According to a press release, no other town has ever received higher than a 90.
"We have known about Park City for a long time, but when we held a biking summit out there recently, we really saw how great all of the trails were," Eller said. "We invited multiple towns to apply for the award and then went through a detailed matrix of attributes."
Eller describes Park City as a model town and said it offers "everything" when it comes to biking.
"There are all kinds of high quality biking in one place," he said.
Sturgis credits the award to the entire town, especially Mark Fischer and Scott House who did the paperwork to make the achievement possible.
"We have always been well rounded as a town, but this just shows that we qualify at a higher level," Sturgis said. "It is a big undertaking and people put a lot of money and foresight into making sure we have these trails, like the Mid-Mountain Trail. Everyone in the community who votes to pass open space bonds knowing that the land will go to trails instead of houses should be thanked."
Sturgis estimates that there are 350 miles of mountain bike trails just in the West Side of Summit County.
Eller said the award may also benefit the community by attracting additional summer tourists.
"Mountain bike tourism is really coming into its own," he said. "Places like Park City, Whistler B.C., and Winter Park, Colorado are marketing summer recreation as professionally as they are winter sports."
For residents who are ready to hit the golden trails, Sturgis recommends the network of trails in Round Valley and the Flying Dog Trail near Glenwild. He said both are dry and in good condition.
According to Sturgis, new trails are scheduled to be constructed this summer on Pinecone Ridge and PC Hill.
"Our new trail map will be out in two weeks so people can check out some new trails that way and an interactive trail map is being added to our website," he said. "It will also have our trail of the week and be very user friendly. Thanks to our dry spring, many trails are ready but residents can check trail conditions on the Basin Recreation website which is updated regularly."
