Come help grow the Beech Mountain Adventure Trail Park!

We are building a long, flowing Super-D trail down the back side of the mountain, and FINALLY creating a ridable climb from the West Bowl back to the summit.

Its the best place around to ride mid-summer, when temperatures up there are nice and cool.

There will be three trail days this spring, and if we get a good turnout, we could have TWENTY MILES OF SIGNED SINGLE TRACK THIS SUMMER! Think Wilson's Light (and legal)

So mark your calendar, grab some gloves (and you bike) and come on up.

Saturday, March 26
Saturday, April 9
Sunday, May 8

More details as we get closer. If you want to learn more, or have time to come help out mid-week, post up.

So cool.

Wish I had unlimited building days so I could come help on this. Sounds like a good thing.

 

[FCLinder]

I will do my best to try to make it up for a build day or 2. I can think of 2 or 3 other guys from Greenville that would come help too. Good to hear Beech is still pushing for a riding area!!!!

Nice to see you're trying to make an impact in the High Country. You've not been in the area long, but good on you and all those that are making it happen.

Any chance for lift access???????

 

[stackout]

Quick clarification: the trails I'm talking about are in the West Bowl and are controlled by the Town of Beech. None of this is affiliated with Ski Beech and the DH stuff they are working on. So, no lift access, but shuttling will be pretty easy. Next week we are flagging the long-awaited trail you will actually be able to ride back up, not that all you guys are into that sort of thing...

For us Charlotte guys would there possibly be a free place to crash for the night after building some trail?

 

[mtbman1127]

I would be down as well to come build some if i can get the time off work!

I'll work on it.

I'll work on it.

Done. I've got free housing on beech lined up. Pm me for info.

Yo Stackhouse, how far down is the Super D gonna go? And does it go off of the existing XC trail? If it goes all the way down to Eagles Nest I bet it could be pretty damn large.

 

[stackout]

Based on the conversation we had yesterday, its will come off the existing XC trail near above the Boneyard, use the new trail to get around the worst section of the power line, drop in on the existing "super-d trail" which we will need to berm up, then tie into Erich's stuff where it crosses West Bowl and go all the way down to Buckeye Creek Rd so you can shuttle it.

Rory, Dan and I are meeting at Beech Town Hall at 9:15 tomorrow to flag it and the 3 mile extension if you can make it - someone with your experience would be pretty helpful

Rosenbusch and I are probably down Andrew.

Rosenbusch and I are probably down Andrew.

We'll be back out Monday morning with the Town of Beech guys to clean up the existing trail and inventory places that need improvement.

I rode the old super-D trail into some of Rosenbusch's stuff down to Chestnut Falls - I saw another line to the West of New Branch Creek that I need to map. Once we get his stuff better tied into the trails above the power lines, and then extend it down to Buckeye Creek through Eagles Nest its going to be epic.

Here is a map, which include my ride to the top via Grassy Gap Creek trail.

Great information & Good Work!

Thanks! We got snowed out yesterday (thus frustrating DJ Trill Will's efforts to get out there and scope things out) but it looks like we will be out with Town of Beech and possibly a crew from the Golf Club (their boss is both generous and loves riding) most Thursday mornings going forward.

Please RSVP on Facebook so we have a rough headcount

I think I might come out for this. Was going to try and ride some but apparently folks who want to show me some of the local trails all at once have to run to Wal-mart because tampons are buy one get one free. If you pm the address to me I'll be there tomorrow.

 

[stackout]

We are meeting at Town Hall at 9AM - it's on Beech Mtn Parkway at the top of the hill on the left when you drive into town.

 

[milohead]

The terrain you have to work w/ is awesome. Even better is the fact you have the green light to do great things in all genres of riding. Its gonna bring a lot of folks that way.

 

[stackout]

Thanks a ton for coming up. Here is cleaned data from today*http://ridewithgps.com/routes/330962

 

[stackout]

I compiled maps of everything out there, including delineating the different stages of trail readiness.

If you want maps of Erich's trails, which are on private property, PM me and I'll send them out.

 

[milohead]

that super d is gonna be sick. i know it will depend on when the fellas at boone do their thing but definitely get the next work day posted.

 

[stackout]

Next trail day is April 9

We are back at it building out trail this Saturday, so come on up. I got in two laps in either direction on the existing Emerald Outback loop Sunday afternoon, and despite the snow above 5100 feet and the whole place being soaked, it rode great (albeit at 5mph). Post up if you can make it so we can get a rough headcount and plan accordingly.
