    Rogue Freeride trails at Raven Hill near Soaring Eagle

    Hey everybody, King County Parks found some unauthorized freeride trails at Raven Hill near Soaring Eagle Park in Sammamish a few weeks ago.

    Duthie trails closed until storm clean-up complete

    Duthie is a mess! Several inches of snow still. Blowdowns, branches and debris everywhere. It can't be any fun to ride right now and it's extremely bad for the trails to ride them now. Riding will grind that fallen debris into the snow, slush and mud and the trails will go from bad to worse...
