Shift Boss

About

Shift Boss is a moderate, one-way mountain biking trail located in the Telluride Bike Park near Mountain Village. The route spans 0.7 miles and begins at the top of the Village Express lift. It connects directly to the No Brainer trail, forming a continuous flow path for riders progressing from upper trails like Tommyknocker. The trail is rated blue, indicating a lower-intermediate difficulty suitable for riders seeking flow and technical features such as jumps and steeps. Access requires a valid Bike Park ticket or pass, which must be purchased online or at the Mountain Village ticket window. Riding is permitted during standard Bike Park operating hours, typically 9 AM to 5 PM, seven days a week. The trail is closed outside these hours, and riders cannot access it via the gondola; they must use the lift. The typical season runs from April through October, though specific operating dates vary by year, often extending into early October on weekends. The trail is pet-friendly and offers parking nearby.
