Full 5 K DH course! Since we will be making many new trails by September, who knows what course we will use. I can tell you there will be speed sections and plenty of technical, steep single-track.
Just to let you know, this is a joint venture for us to something on this scale. Our partner will be announced soon.
Also, this year the US/Canadian Open will not offer UCI points. Key words there are "this year".

Sounds awesome!! As a Canadian, what is the format of the US/Canadian Open? Is that just the event name - or something more?

The only SD race we have planned this year is the Super D at Reaper Madness at Bootleg Canyon on February 18.
Maybe a SD or Enduro race in 2013 at Whiteface? The course we could put together would be totally sick!

Since 2012 will be off the charts for us, who knows what will be in store for 2013?
This year our events will certainly raise the eyebrows of certain folks that can make rather huge events happen in Lake Placid. Did you know that we have hosted the Winter Olympics in both 1932 and in 1980. I think we are still hosting 5 or 6 World Cup Events each year too!

Cash pay outs and specifics on the US/Canadian Open at Whiteface coming very soon!

Maybe I should change the name of this thread to Whiteface Facts?
