The downhill bike park at Mt. Bachelor ski area will not open until Sunday, Bachelor officials announced Wednesday.

The park had been scheduled to open for the summer season on Friday, but officials decided to delay the opening by two days to allow more snow to melt off the trails.

According to the release, guests on opening day should expect one top-to-bottom route, designed for riders who are more comfortable on more difficult (blue square) terrain. Additional trails will open later this month as the snow continues to melt. Construction of new trail sections will continue during the summer.

The park will operate daily through Sept. 1, and operations will continue on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Septemeber and into early October if weather and conditions permit.
