yayee for the new trail shhh its secret try and find it
North* reports here-
- Thread starter TROUT
- Start date
Finally got back up to northstar this weekend and got to see livewire in its almost complete state. I know it's been said so many times that they're probably going to need a visiti to AA at the end of the year, but next time I see anyone from the trail crew, I'm buying you guys drinks!
Amy- I think my girlfriend and I met you on saturday. She was the one who got the mild concussion a couple of weeks ago and had Sarah help her down the hill. Funny story (now that he's ok), but the other guy we were riding with somehow managed to break his collar bone riding down the fireroad back to the village
, so that's why we didn't call you guys saturday night.

Hey. Holy crap that sucks! He must be so incredibly bummed out. Did a chipmunk pop out of the woods and throw a stick in his spokes? Rough weekend out there. Lots of injuries.Amy- I think my girlfriend and I met you on saturday. She was the one who got the mild concussion a couple of weeks ago and had Sarah help her down the hill.

If you and your girly plan on coming back this season drop me a call. I head up every weekend.
Hahaha, no chipmunk. I suspect he was looking behind him to see if he had a sweet roost and missed the fact that the road turned. He ended up going neck first into one of the ropes on the side of the road. Gnarliest rope burn I've ever seen. We were probably 300-400 yards from being done for the day. I told him about the guy getting airlifted off livewire on sunday and he felt pretty lucky after that.
We're def comming back up before the season is out, we'll give you a ring.

I went up that morning and it rained alittle bit. The lifts were shut down due to lighting. After that though, it was awesome. Just like you said, NO DUST and tacky. SWEEET

Nice find brah
Anyone know if the Drop In boys will be in Northstar this weekend? According to the Drop In site, the bus is in Auburn now.

Nice find! Now I know what the trail actually looks like. I stacked huge on the step up and can't recall anything of it. No wonder everyone is drooling over it. My AC separation should be healed enough to get back up there on the last weekend of the season.
Ride on....
stoner...i go hard.
im on the left about to fall asleep.
As always, N* was SWEEET today. "killed it" and did 18 runs, hands were dying and im sore as hell but well worth it. trails were SOO much better than previous times up. All the work yall have put in has paid off big time. live wire is amazing, and i can only wait until next yr when the improvements asa was telling me about are thrown into the mix.
PS: Thanks again Asa and George. Was a pleasure to meet you two.

live wire felt like you were floating in the air half of the time
wheeeeee
the tables in last new section were hard to get speed for/clear
Especially after pounding down the gazillion jumps before it
Someone mentioned they are going to fix that
Oh yeah, someone (i wont say who) accidentaly broke one of the sprinklers of at the peak on one of the berms (after the two in a row far step down doubles)

HAHAHHAHAHA////He sent me a text Saturday or Sunday asking if I was racing. I thought he was up there but I guess not.....
I've seen you around but never intro'd myself so hey, I'm Javier....
Yes. The lift attendants make it very clear that you must enter the opposite side of the tent and exit that direction. It just makes it much easier to exit toward the lifts, etc. Just a rule that needs to be there to manage all the crowds and non English speaking hikers.
All fixed
I also got to work on the hole between the paver berms at the end of Gypsy. Used nature's pavers to fill the gap.
oh snap!!!!!!!!!!
