- Thread starter mindlessfr
- Start date
When do they close up shop? I thought it wasn't until Helloween!

i'm pretty sure 10/31 is the last day as well. but i could be wrong
i think it is the 31st but the 14th is the last chance ill be able to make a trip up there
me and smitty might
I will if the weather is nice. Its gonna be the last ride on the IronHorse.
I'm poor as dirt and my folks are making me pay for gas on the way up, so you should come too 
I say we all meet up at one specific spot so we can shred the trails as one big ridemonkey family.

The uva football game might slow traffic a bit but I'm still coming. And I got my liscence 
Typically, everyone parks at the top by the lift. Then most people ride down to out of bounds to get the lift pass.I'm poor as dirt and my folks are making me pay for gas on the way up, so you should come too

That makes alot of sense. Can you tell me how to get to the top of the lift in the car 
?
?
follow the paved road. there are condos up there with full vehicle access.
Yeah I knew that I just didn't know to how to get there, the last time I went we just parked at the out of bounds place.
at the store/gas station, turn right, and then go about 50 yards, and it will be on your left. It will be marked.
sounds tempting...I'll see what I can do to get up there. What time are you going to arrive?
Dan, if I roll up you wanna head up or are you working?

does anyone know what time the lifts start running
Me ? I'm definately going. Traffic or not. Now that I know what its like in the rain I don't really care what the weather is like. If I can see I'm riding.
If I remember correctly I think they run 10am to 6pm.
I'm trying to work a deal to get up there 10/21.
Hey, anyone interested in a $15.00 lift pass for 10 bucks? i got it when the lifts weren't running, and I never made it back since. It'll save you 25 bucks...send me PM if interested.
probably to late for this week end, but there's a few weeks left this year.

Let us all know how you feel about the rock section into the wall ride on the advanced side. It was wet when I was there but could not find a good line through it. Seemed like the wall ride was just too close to really make it. WG is definitely a good time though. We are heading to Diablo or I would be in.
Sounds tempting, how much is it for the lift?
35$ last time I checked.
I'm still going. Any sissies backing out ?
im still in!!!!!!!!
so i guess ill see everyone who's going tomorow........10:30 at the out of bounds center
ill be wearing a fox jersey and riding a stinky

what do you think of your stinky? do you like it?
So, how was the ride? sitting here with my wrist in a cast for two months now, I have to ride vicariously through you all
The ride was reallly nice. The trails were in near good condition. A little leafy and hard to see the lines in some places, but over all the trails were nice.
I was really worried I was going to have a terrible day because I flatted before I even got one run in, and I had another flat about 3 runs after that. It really got interesting when my rear brake went out more or less completely and I only had my front one. I was pinnin it to winnin it.
One of the best hits of the day was going to lunch theres some grassy nobs over on the other side of the road that you can huck pretty good, too bad I almost died when my front end washed out in the gravel
My only gripe with wintergreen is most of the stunts have almost no landing. Mindlessfr and I both agreed that all of the stuff is doable, theres just no where to bail to at all. I would have liked to have done the big drops but when my two fallzones are trees and rocks, I siss out a little.
PVSSY!
Nah, Just kidding man, I can understand that. Glad ya'll had a good ride, how many people actually showed?
Just mindlessfr and I.
When was the last time you knew ME to siss out on a drop with a sketchy landing? only time I siss out is when its wet/muddy!Oh I bet YOU CAN!
