So I fractured my heel on Memorial Day this year and am unable to ride DH thru August. So i have been looking into planning an off-season dh getaway. So sometime in Jan-early March I'd like to preferrably do a road trip south west out of dirty Jersey. Is there any lift service spots open this time of the year or do i have to go to South America. Most the spots on the google maps link are closed in the winter. Any ideas you monkeys?
Off-season DH lift service or shuttling
- Thread starter kemosabe83
- Start date
i think most, if not all lift-served places are closed by jan....
best bet is shuttling, it's a haul, but check out Windrock.

Leprechauns like the Ireland, but not too many mountains. Do you like sheep?
new passionland or windrock. I'd love to plan a trip to windrock.
sounds like you answered your own question.
year round riding in socal, but like the east coast, lifts shut down by mid-oct for ski season (most sooner than that)
also, you broke your heel that badly?
How far of a road trip do you want? Bootleg Canyon would be open to shuttle
Bootleg. and we'll have a place to stay.
have you been on a plane before?

Yeah Bootleg is a great winter trip. It was in the mild 60's last time we had a bro trip there.
Windrock is good until sometime after thanksgiving when the rains hit

some nice riding in Hawaii, it is easier if you live on the left coast thought.
Hawaii may not work out that well for a road trip. AMIRITE?
Windrock is probably the only place within driving distance but no clue what their trails will be like that time of year.

the choice is between a short road trip on the east coast or going to south america?
california, arizona, new mexico, nevada, utah all have places that come to mind. heck depending on the winter, there is great riding all over colorado even in jan->march

Right, a dh getaway for sure though
Bootleg sounds killer, good luck on your recovery
The good thing about making the trip to Windrock is that the trails can be ridden over the winter(might be muddy oh knows
) and that another 2 hours down to Chattanooga is the TTC (trials training center, a private moto trials place) that has cabins to rent cheap, showers and 2 sides of a mountain to shuttle DH trails.Kinda like a 2 in 1 deal.
Just post up in the south forum for conditions and for ride guide
Also a nice stop before/after nationals
