Yes, the 4x course should be in better shape than at the National though!
I will be there.
i was in snowmass a week ago riding and that chute on the lower part of the course is crazy. i wont be at the race but im wondering how and what line is used to hit that at speed.

Are you talking about the drop with the quick right hander at the bottom??
I take the middle line going just to the left of the tree. If you watch race footage from last year a lot of guys would take the wide line around the left hand turn. From what I saw there used to be a small pile of dirt and roots they would bank off of to continue the turn while in the air. For the National this year the pile disappeared. The middle line just set me up better for the right hand turn at the bottom. Above the drop both lines felt very similar speed wise.
