I love the way they run. Instead of me saying that I need to get up there this year, I now say "Patty's open next weekend. Let's go." and we go! No more wishing I was there cause I am there.
Do any DH mountains have plans to open this year?
- Thread starter daisycutter
- Start date
They put out a press release saying they'd be opening to season pass holders soon, re-evaluating a few weeks later for regular public. Sounds good.
In California - Mammoth and Northstar have no ETAs yet. Mt Shasta's FB says they are working on the trails in prep for when they're allowed to open.
my local mountain, after delaying by 3 weeks, has pulled in their opening and will open this weekend, still only for passholders. don't think i'm gonna guinea pig it.
i think i've decided i'm gonna hold off a few weeks and not guinea pig myself. will just pay for a ticket if/when the option finally becomes available.
Snow Summit is opening June 12. Already planning on being there.
I am thinking about buying a pass to support them, even if I likely cannot break even this season.
when will they allow @Sandwich in?
Any info on camping??
Mt Shasta is planning on opening July 11th.
Opening June 6th, with limited day passes
Highland is opening the 27th and 28th of this month. 27th for pass holders.
snowshoe opening thurs-sun starting 7/2
Not a DH park, but a local bike park owned by a family just announced that they won't be opening this year. What a bummer, the owner takes immaculate care of the trails and its a tight-nit little place - cash only and has some of the best Canadian shield tech riding around here. Bummed for Mike the owner, I'm sure it won't be easy for them this year.
Meanwhile the DH park about an hour from Toronto is set to open on Friday. The place sucks, as the trails are quite sandy and ridiculously short, but I'm sure it'll be a gong show on Saturday with the larger bike park not too far away announcing that they're closed for the year.

kick the guy a few bucks as a donation to help ensure it'll come back next year.
my local mountain seems to have had enough success with their season passholder only opening this past weekend that they are offering a limited number of day tickets starting this weekend. online purchase only, 30 tickets per day.
Always knew STD's where rampant at those bigger hills.......There are some POV videos out from last weekend's riding in German bike parks. The lift lines looked like they would be a perfect place to get the virus....and I am not talking the biking one.
That's what Blue calls a busy day
talked to a buddy who knew someone that went, opening weekend lift line was long, i think in part because they were running the lift slow.
This was from Highland today a la Instagram.There are some POV videos out from last weekend's riding in German bike parks. The lift lines looked like they would be a perfect place to get the virus....and I am not talking the biking one.
Yikes. Although that angle it may be hard to tell how far apart people all. Does NH have a mask requirement?
Talked to a guy who was at opening day for Blue. Everyone was respecting the distancing guideline and he only saw one person without a mask.

I’m not sure about NH. We do still here in Mass. Masks are required while in line this weekend at Thunder.
PA still has a mask requirement, but our nickname is Pennsyltucky so
No idea what wife and I will do this summer on DH bikes, I know you need to use that well timed purchase of yours at some point though
Ah highland, where a squid can be a squid.
It's new Hampshire, there are no rules.

Angelfire is open for pass holders only. I believe they are going to announce full opening after this weekend. I've been there 2 weeks in a row, might as well make it 3 and go up tomorrow.
I've pedaled up-and-over and into Trestle from the North between bike and ski seasons. Its work but fun, but then you're descending on your trail bike.
Plenty of fun to be had at Trestle on an enderpo rig. Big DH ride not needed for most everything IMO.
One day before they opened, I rode my bike up to the top of the first lift at Alyeska. F-ing bloody steep mountain that is.
