Look on the bright side my summer has been replaced by 100-160kmph winds for the last week. :(
A hell of a lot of the local trails are too exposed to ride in that....it's also offshore at that speed meaning no surf.

Yeah it was raining, but that meant 7" on powder @ Big Mtn! New Years day was great.
Like he said, at least you guys are getting some good powder. Missoula hasn't seen any rain/snow since I got back into town last week. I think it was close to 50 degrees the other day.

Yes, I'm over there a few times in the winter and summer.
I'll be back over next month. Looks like Whitefish is planning on putting in a DJ park this year. Any idea where it's going to be?

Im not sure where but we only got $20k to do it. The soccer fields got like 2 mil. Funny how that works, hu. It should be pretty good. A few of my buddys are going to help build it.

Do you have family here? The summer riding is awesome. Have you ever ridden much in WF? I have also heard that Big Mtn is building a DH race trail from the top. We will see. It was approved and they have plotted it out.

Yes, the inlaws live by the Big Mtn turn off. I have only ridden there a couple time in the summer. I did a DH race @ Big Mtn, and rode Spencer Lake (?). Not sure if that's the correct name. It was past the WF golf course. When I make it out this summer, we'll have to go for a ride. The Big Mtn "bike park" is a let down to say the least, but at least they let bikes ride up there. I believe errosion would be a huge issue for DH style trails up there and would take a lot of maintenance.

Spencer Lake is waaaay different now. It has lots of FR trails. PM me when you think you will be in WF this summer. There are a few secret trails by BM too. You will not believe what you have been missing. What bike do you ride?
