I know it depends on the weather, but isn't typically the last weekend in October?

 

[MikeD]

Nah, the weekend before Thanksgiving, usually.

Ahhh, that would be very cool!

Man, I've haven't rode as much as I planned on this season :mumble:

 

[Dog Welder]

I talked to one of the lift guys and he said that the last weekend would be the week after the fall classic.

Oh, you killjoy!!!

If that's the case, I'm there this weekend.

 

[MikeD]

Man, that sucks. I always liked those cold, empty November days riding nearly alone...

 

[Orvan]

Poop Chute is officially closed...atleast on my list.... I guess they sorta started "grooming" that side of the slope.. Sad news for Rabie.

blah!

 

[downhillzeypher]

But they're keeping 2n10 open right?

 

[Ciaran]

Since the last day is coming up, I am going whether the GF and the physical therapist say I can or not. If I can walk, I can ride dang it! I am thinking Saturday of the last weekend. Anyone else?

 

[downhillzeypher]

FOCK!!!

Turns out I can't get a ride on a Saturday.

SO I'll be there the very last weekend. I guess I'll at least get to set my fork up before my first race (southridge). Shat this sucks.

 

[ZJChaser]

awwww nooo...I was hoping it'd be open longer. I'll be racing the fall classic then probably back up there the weekend after too I guess since its the last.

 

[EBasil]

But they're keeping 2n10 open right?

2N10 is a Forest Service Road. If you get to it by riding up from next to Bear Mountain, it's open all year. It's not like there'll be any snow real soon, either.

I was kinda... kidding lol. I guess in some other thread the guys were busting me up for not being able to lay the shat down on fall line so SOMEONE suggested 2n10.

BUT. YEA-YUH! Turns out I can make it to the fall classic. Fo real.

 

[ZJChaser]

so now you're coming? make up your mind..haha

 

[EBasil]

I was kinda... kidding lol.

Oops. Well, I think 2N10 is totally extreme, anyway. Way better than SART, that's for sure.

 

[Orvan]

So is this weekend the last for BB?

We're going up!

 

[ZJChaser]

I'll be riding the SHARE poker ride in Aliso on saturday and Big Bear on sunday with my buddy Nick.

chime in here...whos gonna be there sunday for the last horah of the summer(unless they decide to keep it open longer)

 

[Riff Raff]

I'm hoping to ride this weekend in BB, I'm off to the orthopedic on Wed to check out the thumb....

[MikeD]

Nice! I hope to be up Sat and Sun myself. (looks like we're going east for Thanksgiving, though...too bad, because we were looking forward to planning another great BB weekend...we'll miss ya.)

MD

 

[-BB-]

So THIS weekend is the last BIgBear weekend?
Damn... I better get up there.

 

[Rabie]

Are you getting a place for sure? I'm busy Sat morning so I was planning on coming up Sunday, but if I'm off early Sat, I was thinking about heading up for the afternoon and staying for Sun.

 

[MikeD]

Not sure, but I'll tell you by Thursday.

 

[Orvan]

we're loooking at getting a condo (mot 6 is booked) so anyone willing to chip in is welcome

 

[spookydave]

see you foo's up there

 

[Ciaran]

sunday Sunday SUNDAY! I am going on Sunday. I hope I finally get to meet some of you. I will be on the red Yeti DH9. Red tube frame.. not the monocoque. Look for me, I will be the one going slow, and crying because the jumps and drops are too big for an old slow fat bastard like me.

 

[BMXman]

have you ever been before...the jumps at BB are small and pathetic at best...JMO....D

 

[downhillzeypher]

Not to mention the drops... they're more pathetic than some curbs I've dropped.

 

[TYM]

Count me in ... maybe we can get a group together for Octoberfest Saturday night.

 

[Ciaran]

have you ever been before...the jumps at BB are small and pathetic at best...JMO....D

Many times... In truth I do hit the jumps and am not that slow. Better to set the expectations low though. Hell, the last time I was there I broke my leg!

 

[Pegboy]

Saturday. First in a month or so,...scary.

 

[MikeD]

Not to mention the drops... they're more pathetic than some curbs I've dropped.

But that's why you get so creative with your freeride style...I've seen you turn the straightest sections of Summit into drops of up to, oh...(umm, how tall are you again?)

[Rabie]

Saturday. First in a month or so,...scary.

Having just ridden Summit for the first time in two months last weekend, I have some advice for you. Be careful judging your speed on the ski jump. That's all I have to say about that.

 

[Pegboy]

I'm planning on going up early Sat. morning from bellflower so if anyone in the OC or LA area want to carpool to offset the $10,000/gallon gas price let me know. Oh yeah, I usually straight shoot the 91 or could possibly go the 10, and would rather not drive too far out of the way to pick anyone up but we could work a meeting point if need be.

Man I wish I could make it up this weekend... I wanna get get some more time in on my super t...

I hate not having a license. (just one more week!!!)

 

[ZJChaser]

hahaha...stepping stones..you got a week till your license, I got 3 till I'm 21..good times.

 

[ncrider]

I wish we all had anouther week to sit on a lift chair and reflect on the next line to take when we get to the top.
Damn, taking things for granted again, blah blah blah and now it's over. Enjoy it cause next week will all be pedalling back up or shutlling if your lucky.

 

[Rabie]

Um, like, before people get all nostalgic, has anyone received official word that this is the last weekend for riding? I mean it doesn't look like it's snowing to me, and last year it just closed early cause the whole world was on fire.

"Current Report as of:
Monday October 11, 2004

The Snow Summit Scenic Sky Chair is now open weekends only until the beginning of the 2004/2005 winter season. Get your mountain bike tuned, your shoes laced and your camera ready for some excellent riding, hiking and sightseeing at Snow Summit!

Well, the website only says it's no longer open on WEEKDAYS until the end of the season...I'll keep my tissues stowed. Then again, it's just a website, so who knows?
