We'll be working on Saturday and riding on Sunday starting at 9am.

Sign in at 9 am Saturday in the base lodge.

You must sign in and work on Saturday to ride on Sunday.

All Saturday workers will ride for free on Sunday and receive a pass for another day of riding at the park.

Camping is free for the work weekend

questions-
1) if we arrive late, can we still participate? If I leave Boston by 5am I should be there by 10, but may not be there by 9. Otherwise I'd have to set up camp at night.

2) Do you have appropriate tools for us tools to use? I don't have a chainsaw (duh) but I also don't really have any rakes or shovels to bring either.

[Eastern States Cup]

Any one coming from the NH way? I need to get a rider his frame.


TMX, nothing at all has changed in you absence. We miss ya !! well except that we leave earlir on Sunday nights now ;-(

 

[Sandwich]

I'm coming from boston, very likely saturday morning very early. If you can get the frame to my area this evening, I could bring it from there. We may try and leave earlier if magic happens and the stars align.

 

[jonKranked]

leaving in under 3 hours.

 

[tmx]

....nothing at all has changed in you absence. We miss ya !! well except that we leave earlir on Sunday nights now ;-(

Probably better you're leaving earlier on Sunday's because you're likely also leaving a little less Labatt-filled. Oh wait...now you got the kid driving you can fill up on blue cans all ya like.

Take a fun photo of all your handsome mugs for me, wouldja? And spill the first sip to Porraro. And be safe, driving, cutting, imbibing, fire pitting. And go ahead and laugh your asses off that I don't have lift access for another two months. Rassin' frassin' sonovabeyotch..

what a amazing weekend! the weather started out a bit cold Saturday but quickly turned to completely clear skies and 70* weather. despite all the rain they got over the past few weeks, the trails were in awesome shape;no huge puddles, no big rivers and the majority of the main trails were clear. no sticks piled under jumps either

and the weather for Sunday was equally as amazing.

awesome riding with great people!

 

[Sandwich]

2nd. Had a great time building and riding. It was fun cutting a few new lines, including one ultra-spooky big boy line. Will be fun to see if anybody hits it.

Only a few bad areas on the mountain...the lower part of the 2009 GES finals course took a beating...that needs some drainage and fillage...

 

[nh dude]

sick things worked out for a succesfull workweek end. last year the weather was great on saturday and then it was a little damp on sunday. Can't wait to get out there this coming weekend.

 

[tmx]

PICS!?! Preferably including the Plattekooks I miss so very much. And Sammich. lolerz
