I'm pretty dang sure this is closing weekend.

I know I'm leaving mid week next week to head down to Asheville-ish for the "winter". I could see a possibility of there being another bonus week on top of this one, but It'll have to be without me!

Billy Badger was awesome today, Gronk was awesome, Back of the Bong Shed was awesome, Thundercunt was awesome, Blue Pulaski was awesome, Jake's snake was pretty good, the Masoshist was awesome, too (but I am a pussy so I only did it once).

Great job Thunder mountainers, thank you, I can't wait for the next year!

seriously.. for their first year of mountain biking, thunder mountain is amazing. when highland opened they only had like 3 trails and look at them now.
keep it up boys!

rankin is that you?! fukking rad ass video

my buddy did the same trail gap yesterday and he messed up his ankle... looked like a harsh landing

 

[TrumbullHucker]

see you dudes sunday, eh???

#theendisnigh

 

[Em_Ef_Er]

I was up there about 3 weeks ago and got a sneak peak at the new big jump line off the Gronk. Based on how steep the lips are it'll be a lot of fun and a good change of pace from the Gronk, more bmx oriented imo.

Happy spring Thunder Fans. Starting to think about the new year, a few work opportunities coming up. Patrollers, Guides, Trail Crew, Lifties, Shop Techs. Polish up the resume.

Patrollers can email me at Harold@berkshireeast.com, others, jobs will be posted at berkshireeast.Com soon.

 

[CraigS]

When are you opening?

 

[TrumbullHucker]

gee willekers im fucking stoked

 

[ThunderPatrol]

When are you opening?

Partly up to ma nature, first part of May is the target, we'll keep everyone updated as we get closer. Lots of snow to melt right now.

 

[kidwoo]

Dang

I wish my name was "thunder patrol"

It probably comes with a free battle ax and hawk that follows you around.

so thunderpants, what's good on the mountain this year? Are we getting some fresh new singletrack to go with the monster jump run you're building? I enjoyed the gernk last year but some additional single blacks might push me to grab that season's pass.

I'm with this dude. I've been trying to decide whether or not to grab one. A couple more natural DH trails would definitely get me to buy one. How much will passes be this year?

 

[StiHacka]

Too easy for you, @Sandwich?

 

[Sandwich]

the drunkowski? no i'm good with that one. I probably won't even touch the new jump run; me and jumps just don't mesh. another trail like billy badgah or the schist would be sweet. The schist pushes the boundary between enough speed and pucker factor. too easy is way into the red zone. billy badger is just the right mix to get going really fast but still being able to reign it in when you get stupid. Another one of those would make me happy.

 

[StiHacka]

I was making a joke. "Too easy", get it?

(I am secretly hoping the new jump line will take some bros off-the Gronk so a newb like me will feel moar comfy there).

 

[Sandwich]

ha, I get jokes.

 

[StiHacka]

I don't make good jokes.

 

[TrumbullHucker]

I THINK
this is the beginning of the "A-line" jump trail they finished building

I agree with what you said about Schist @Sandwich ... perfectly too steep haha

 

[ThunderPatrol]

There is a nearly complete new ST black, between Schist and Wine Tree that the Gravity Logic Boys should give their blessing on before opening day.

We've got as few other things planned too.

We'll begin working on the trails in the next few weeks, can't walk on the machine built yet, but some of the natural ST is nearly ready to buff up.

[dump]

whoo!

 

[ThunderPatrol]

Looks like we'll be opening April 23, weekends only through memorial weekend, then 5 days. Polish up those bikes folks.

 

[StiHacka]

Instant boner!!

 

[schwaaa31]

Yes and yes.

[ThunderPatrol]

Getting closer guys. The excavators started humming as the snow dissappeared friday, my crews are getting the brush off the trails, clearing drainage and generally polishing things up. Bike racks go on the lift starting Monday. Oh, and the rental fleet is adding 28 Enduro EVO experts. What a ride!

 

[StiHacka]

Are there gonna be more bike racks on the lift than last year?
