Description

Mr. Hankey is an expert-level (black) downhill bike park line branching left from 95980 Murica on Ylläs fell in Kolari—part of Ylläs Bike Park, which Ylläs Ski Resort promotes as among the longest lift-served park routes in Finland. For how each feature rides, start from Ylläs Ski Resort’s bike park trail descriptions: they describe Mr. Hankey as turning left at the first split off Murica, opening with technical rock, rock jumps and gaps, and short steep rolls, then—after halfway—two large drops with no alternate lines and a 7 m gap jump at the finish, plus careful attention to landing zones. The line is explicitly aimed at very skilled riders only, with precise speed and line control and no tolerance for hanging out in jump landings. The bike park presentation on Ylläs Ski Resort states that Mr. Hankey was completely renewed and opened in autumn 2025. You reach it using the same gondola-served top network as 95980 Murica, Full Enduro, and Kirraa; Murica’s upper section is faster and rougher than Reindeer Rally, with a rock-gap jump near the top that demands accuracy or a marked bypass. Where Mr. Hankey ends, you can link into lower sections of Air Flow and Murica again. On our map the stored geometry for this listing is about 0.9 km long. The same resort pages quote roughly 2.9 km for the full Mr. Hankey line as they define it in the bike park network; use their trail card and on-hill marking as the practical reference. Kiipeilysohlot’s 2021 bike park tour article recalls Mr. Hankey as a rocky detour off Murica that merged back above Murica’s long deck drops—useful background on how riders experienced the area before the 2025 rebuild. Lifts, day tickets, and weather holds follow Ylläs Ski Resort bike park rules; Yllas.fi notes the park runs about mid-June to early October with prices that depend on tickets and rentals. Downhill bikes and protective gear are available from HILL Ski Rent Ylläs next to the gondola.

Length & route

About 0.9 km as the geometry stored for this route. Ylläs Ski Resort lists Mr. Hankey at roughly 2.9 km inside its bike park network counting the full descent from the Murica junction. Vertical and timing depend on lift queues and riding speed.

Getting there

Ride the gondola to the top bike park station beside 95980 Murica’s start, Ylläs Ski Resort’s materials place Murica at the gondola upper area with Mr. Hankey branching left at the first intersection on Murica. The resort lists contacts at Iso-Ylläksentie 44, 95980 Ylläsjärvi, with bike park phone +358 16 510 3500. Confirm lift status before travel.

Good to know

Bike park passes and keycard rules are published on the bike park price list. Daily weather and lift updates are emphasised on Facebook and official pages.

History

Ylläs Ski Resort’s bike park presentation states Mr. Hankey was completely renewed and opened in autumn 2025. An independent 2021 trip article on Kiipeilysohlot described an earlier Mr. Hankey alignment as a rocky branch off Murica before the rebuild.
