There’s bad news today for downhill mountain bikers. Little Switzerland, the ski hill located in Slinger, has announced that it is closing its bike park:
“We have made the difficult decision to permanently close the Little Switzerland Bike Park. Our insurance company has dropped coverage of the Bike Park, and alternative insurance options would not make the park economically viable moving forward.
“We want to thank all of our loyal Bike Park customers that have made it a special place. It’s been quite a ride—literally and figuratively—over the last 10 years.
“We also want to offer our sincere gratitude to the dedicated build crew that made the Bike Park one of the best in the Midwest. None of it would have been possible without their time, dedication, passion, and effort.
“We are donating any features that may be usable to Heritage Trails County Park, located 10 minutes away and will offer any support to Heritage we can.
“We are personally saddened by this difficult reality, and wish nothing but the best for the gravity biking community.”
