26 West is here to stay - with more features built everyday! For 2008, the park is scheduled to operate until November 1. Currently, five trails are bedding-in quite well and the freeride park is getting dialed.

The State Champs DH race will be held October 11and will feature an extended course to gain the full elevation of the mountain. Scheduled race-course workdays will be held. The season finale will be a November 1 freeride comp, chainless DH race and old-school slalom race.

Stay tuned for 26 West's website: www.ride26west.com. The site will be live soon and will provide park info and galleries for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks for the update. Is there a site where you can get info on the North Carolina State DH Champs race? Like rules/regs and registration?

I just spoke with Ryan cause he doesn't have internet @ his place, I thought I'd call to help get some questions answered.

As far as the Media Day goes, he is still coordinating with the local news folks and others to nail down a good day. He said that he will let everyone know ASAP.

www.ride26west.com will be the source for all the race information. As for some info now, there will be a pro class and an amateur class. Of course the pros will race for cash!!! And the top amateurs will receive some cool schwag!!! The afternoon before the race will be open for practice, and qualifying for the pros.

***Note***
Ryan welcomes phone calls if you are curious about trail conditions/progressions, so give him a call the day before you head up!

I hope this helps!!
