Replying to Mt. Bike Recommendations

I will be a freshman at the U of U next fall, I was wondering what Bike you guys would recommend for the canyons bike park and the I-Street Park. Is a Full Down Hill bike needed for the canyons?
 
Just some info on me. I would say I am a advanced rider if that changes any thing, and have ridden in Whistler and Colorado So i am not new to Mt. Biking I just don't know as much about the equipment as I do with skiing

Thank and hope to see you guys out there
