Checking out the new expert drop in onto trail 26/27 near the summit (these pictures document the 1st 1,600' of vertical):


Must clear rocks:


YeeeeeeHaaaaaaa!:


5 minutes or so farther down the mountain to The Face Shot Drop trail 27: (after a sick speed section to some super tech single-track)


1 more from The Face Shot Drop:


700 vertical later to the Mid Station Drop:


Rider Elias Ingraham (Mid Station Drop):


The Mid Station Drop is new and you can really get some distance on this. I have watched guys get close to 30 feet!:


880 more vertical to go. More pictures next week.

Isn't that Face Shot Drop located pretty close to the 5K race course from last year... I remember walking on a drop that looked pretty darn close to that one in the picture. If you ever walk this mountain, remember to bring water:huh:....it's so long!

Edit- good pictures, can't wait until this year's race, hotel already booked!

Yes The Face Shot Drop is just off of the race course. Online registration should be set up by next week for the 5 K DH on 8-31-08.
This year we have no conflicts with the Canadian "Q" & "O" Cup Series finals, so we are expecting a large turn out from the Canadian racers.
Should be great competition this year as many pros have had this race on their calendars since the 1st of the year.

We may have The Gator Drop on the race course. No worries as we will have a go around.

How cool would that be for a finish line jump?

I will try to take pictures each week of the previous weeks trail work.
We have been making many improvements each year and the trails are getting better and better each year.
We would love to have some kind of a pump track event?

Next week maybe I'll put up pictures of the small dual slalom course out front?
