Matt, Carla and I headed to the mountains to work out the big bikes and something different than Wilsons this weekend.
The plan to try out the Beech trails and Super D then head over to Sugar.
When we arrived at the Beech parking lot we noticed some familiar looking vehicles. It looked like the trail crew had parked there to work on the DH track. We headed up the trails looking for the Super D. The trails must have been dumped on the night before, in combination with them being relatively new we got about a mile in and realized this was going to be a lost cause. We basically made it to the top of the SuperD and then headed back down, passing the trail crew coming out of the woods.
So we decided to head over to Sugar. We took the lift to the top once, $12 and 22 minutes. The top section is really good and I am pissed we wussed out on the big rock roller the first time down. Since the weather was looking iffy and Matt's wife was kind enough to offer to shuttle we shuttled the next few runs. Is there a way to get all the way to the top when you shuttle? We couldnt figure it out, so basically started every subsequent run right at the intersection of the ski slope and entrance to the third steep rocky section.
As we were packing up I saw what looked to be MotoMike, Garret, possibly Herndon wizzing by on a run down?
There always seems to be a pretty negative vibe floating around Sugar, yep the lift was slow and there was really 1 or 2 fun options down, but if you got a good sunny day there I could see myself spending $25 and making a day of it.
