Rutland Cold Rolled Fatbike Fest 2026

COLD ROLLED TIME!

Rutland Cold Rolled Fatbike Festival is back. Presented by Down Valley Bikes, Mountain Bike Vermont and Pine Hill Partnership in Rutland, Vermont, Cold Rolled offers a day of fatbike stoke on cold-rolled singletrack! Join us Satruday, February 21st, 2026 as fatbikers from around New England and New York gather in Rutland to lead a charge with Old Man Winter, replete with group rides, self Guided GPS Routes, demos, and hearty brews around warm fires.

The event will feature a vendor village, rides for all ages and abilities, and groomed trails for your fatbiking pleasure. Riders depart at 10am at the Giorgetti Athletic Complex at 2 Oak Street Extension (the Pine Hill Trailhead) where we’ll also convene for lunch at 12:00 pm. The remote aid station (aka party central) will be located at the shore of Rocky Pond and will feature a bonfire and our favorite mid-ride refreshers. Lunch at Giorgetti will be catered by our friends at Ranch Camp (Woodstock, VT).

“We’re beyond excited to bring the Cold Rolled back to Pine Hill – this trail network has some of the best fatbiking in the state, and the community rallies to maintain them all winter." says event cofounder & Killington Valley local Nate Freund of MTBVT. "We're stoked to bring the party to Rutland and introduce riders from around the northeast to these amazing trails!”

The $50 ticket price ($35 for the under 21 crowd) includes Ride w GPS routes, Limited Group Rides, lunch (with both carnivorous and veggie options), and a signed original Cold Rolled Rutland artist print. So air down those tires, break out the extra layers, and get ready to party MTBVT style.
