The trails network isn't that big (3 or 4 dh runs) but worth the stop if you are near the area. They were closed last summer but I'm told they will be open to bikes again this year.
Are you talking about the trail that runs from up by the old ski park (as far up as you can dive on the mountain) down into the outskirts of the town of Shasta? I've heard it called 'The Entertainer', it is one of my favorite trails I've ridden. Theres just something about a trail that loses 6000' from top to bottomchicodude said:Hve you ridden the Gnar DH trail there? it's not part of the ski resort.
You have add Bootleg to that list--without a doubt. Brian Head and Deer Valley would also be a nice addition.dlb said:Brian Head in Utah not only runs the lift but has a great shuttle service that has a half dozen sweet long trails, drops you off and picks you up at the end.
Though Bootleg isnt a ski resort, does offer a shuttle service.
Should hopefully be open Summer 06. (fingers crossed!!!)Zark said:Mt. Baldy-not much there yet, but we'll be changing that
Opps forgot about that one. Not many trails but they are building.1soulrider said:Kanter, surprised you didn't mention Big Sky.
I would think it would be one of the closest resorts to you?
Me, you, and HOW will have to hit it up this next year.dexter said:big sky has tons of trails kanter. and whats awesome is they dont mind the pirate trail building going on 99% of the time.
ps the race course at big sky is one of the best i have ridden, too bad you can only ride it on race days

Might be something different but those rumors float around almost every year, including earlier this year. Some season-pass holding monkies got vouchers for a couple days of riding in '06 because they closed a day or two early this year. You never know but I think it's looking good.Zutroy said:There are some rumors starting to circulate in the Northstar my not run bike ops next summer.
Big Sky is definitely awesome. We rode/pushed to the race course a few times last year, I really wish the gondola took you to it.dexter said:big sky has tons of trails kanter. and whats awesome is they dont mind the pirate trail building going on 99% of the time.
