I was up there this weekend and ran into you guys. Have you done anything to the Zipper? We'll let you know when work begins on the stunt park since any help is appreciated.

Awesome. You were one of the guys that Rob (Cannondale), Eric (hardtail), and I (SC) ran into. Nothing has been done to the Zipper, I'm back in Pullman at school.

And for sure, just post here when you get that build stuff going. It'll get at least a couple more people out to help build.

was just at beacon on sunday(yesterday) it was good in the morning because the ground was still frozen, but as it thawed it got pretty goopey and sloppy. It was fun none the less... hopefully this snow stops before the weekend (snowed most of the day today)

when are you planning on riding, i wouldn't mind riding with a monkey or two... usually end up at beacon anyway...
Should I let my parents know you're going to be up there?

Our plan is to be at Beacon early to ride when the ground is still froze on Sat. We have a Montana crew that will be there if the weather is good.

If its going to be that cold we might try another weekend. I dont want to drive 4 hours to ride in 0 degree weather. I heard record lows for Sat so it might be a week or two. Damn winter.

The hill just looked damp this morning when I left my parent's place. It is supposed to be nice this weekend, too.

I hiked the property yesterday (weds) as we started the mapping project.
While some of the soil areas are a little wet, the DH trails look to be in pretty good shape.

I'm going to be there on Sunday, probably shuttling all day. The trails are damp, which means they're super tacky. There's a couple puddles here and there, but nothing major. If the rain stays away for the next two days, it'll be really nice up there.
