I call top bunk
can't wait it's looking great.
Nothing says DH race like a good booter.
In good local fashion I hope it gets sponsored and called something like the Oskar Blues Hold My Beer Booter.

hopefully bizutch chimes in saying "BUT THAT'S NOT RACING" because he's too scared to jump it.
But he is still holding his beer!
Priorities.
ok so THAT looks nice and tasty ... thank god he didn't film with a gimbal or anything.
less sooper booters, more gnurz
that's a typical regional race course...i think they're doing something different for wc
You're right, I didn't catch what he said the first time, about working on the new course, but showing the regional one.
gotta get my local peeps sorted out, then will open up teh haus to @ridemonkeys. have had giant house reserved basically at the lift since venue was announced. this one: https://www.vrbo.com/966282

Watching that and I could just feel the ticks crawling over me.
Holy canoli, those two top woods sections are amazing! I hope Red Bull puts a decent amount of cameras there.
Video no work. Snowshoe get hacked?
You have to watch it in YouTube
You see the sections with the big smooth berms out in the open?
That's where the cameras will be.

It's cute how you watch that video and think that is what the weather and course is gonna be like.
Snowshoe's weather is like:

I was thinking the same thing---"holy shit this will be heinous in a torrential downpour."
Now all those dick draggers riding 9ft long 61 degree HA hardtails have something to strive for.
I might be biased because I am an east coast guy but I do believe this track is going to be the best of the season. Knowing all of those trails it's got the perfect mix and it seems they added exactly what they needed to over on the western territories side. The only thing which seems a bit weird is how close to the start top those 3 big jumps are, curious why they put them so far up the hill? I am wondering if it is ease of spectator access? At the bottom after the last rock section there is plenty of room for big hits...Regardless it looks like they did a great job.
I think I'll be watching from the 'Wild Zone' who remembers that one? Seems like it will be a good spot and I am so glad they decided to integrate that section into the course.

why is that already sticky but not even a thread for les gets out?????
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII can't keep track of these things...
BECAUSE IMPORTANT THINGS ARE IMPORTANT.
All we need is for the UCI to bring the world cups back to snoqualmie like in 98 and balance will be restored to the universe. Looking forward to seeing what the Kade and Kaos throw down on the Snowshoe booter, should be a sick race!
JESUS EFFING CHRIST HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO GO OVER THIS.... THAT'S NOT HOW THE WORLD CUP VENUE SELECTION PROCESS WORKS
easy there jK. You're going to pop a blood vessel.
10$. In the middle of nowhere. this will end well. 
$10 seems fair to me. I see this being a bit of a shock to folks. Particularly in those parts.10$. In the middle of nowhere. this will end well.
i don't think locals are going to just wander over and be surprised...you kind of have to make it a point to get there; it's not that kind of venue, and if you do make the effort to go, $10 for a ticket ain't shocking.
Yeah, I'm with you. $10 ain't bad. I think I'm just saying that this would be the first mtb race (ever?) that you'd have to pay to watch at Snowshoe.
dunno, all the world cups i attended so far i never needed to pay anything to watch the race? neither in la bresse, in andorra and in val d'isere.
