Oh yay. More dirt sidewalk going in at the cost of older technical bits. Sigh. Even the mushroom is offended. Just love me some flat, 90 degree corners.

My closest/favorite local spot, and the techy bits are slowly being whittled away.

That sort of stuff is soul crushing. Nothing like spending years trying to ride a particular section cleanly, only to have a trail crew come through and sanitize it.

Yep. The local municipality that owns the land has basically turned the local NEMBA chapter into their bitch in exchange for some legitimacy. IMO, it wasn't worth the trade. Much "rerouting and improvements" that last couple months, IMO, mostly due to NIMBY hikers complaining to the city.

I like much of what they do for access, but I hate most of what they do for trails.

The best stuff adjoining is still good - it's on state land and they take a more hands off approach.

It's only a three hour drive for me so it's not to bad they don't have a lot of trails the hill is big the lift is fast and the trails are long so your time on the lift/ ride time ratio is in the favor of riding not standing in a lift line or sitting on an slow lift
