The resort will open for skiing on Dec 5th (+/- 2 weeks) - I hope!!!
I am totally not sure, but I'd like to see the mountain biking scene remaining rideable until at least Dec 1st.

My son and I will be coming to check it out as soon as Snowshoe closes...:biggrin:
Those trails look fun, not too tech though...but fun. It will be nice to chill and not pin it so damn hard every single run.
We may even bring the 5 inch bikes as well as the DH race rigs.

Timberline has tech, just no wood, road gaps or man made jump lines. There are a couple steep drift lines that will get your adrenal glands producing. If you want to pin it and reach ludicrous speed there are some sections that you can let go thoroughly explore your max comfortable speed.

Definitely bring both your bikes and take a ride in the Dolly Sods. You will want your big bikes for the Downhill trails though. There are some ATV race lines that are open and absolutely fun as hell to pin it down.

what is the turnout looking like for the double down? it's a 7+ hour haul for me, but i'm thinking about making the trek

There is no pre-registration so I can only go by other indicators, word of mouth, phone calls and emails. We should have a good turn out and I hope you make it here.

Thank you JR, without you pulling to gether all the volunteers, setting the courses and opening the trails this summer Timberlines awesome trail system would still be relatively unknown.

It was a fun race with a good crowd of riders ready to mix it up in the slop, I'm still blown away by the sub 4 min times on the mud luge course. I can't wait to see a race ran on dry trails.

Big thanks to JR, Scott, and the rest of the timberline crew who were more than accommodating. One of the most fun weekends of riding I've had in a while. The two courses were very well built, each with distinctly different personalities. I see some true potential for this place......they've got the terrain and the motivation, what more do you need? Hope to see things really expand there in the coming seasons. Kudos guys!

Attached are the contact sheets for photos taken during the DH race at Timberline.

It was the first race for 2008, and I admit that while the conditions were not the best, riders came from all over the place.

See for yourself - photos below.

I will be posting full-sized photos shortly (next couple of days).
We are working on a new program that will make life "sweet".
However (and in the meantime) email me directly here: vic@akaflash.com and let me know which photo you'd like to see.

I think the quality of riding was impressive, The dude that had the fastest time of the day also ran the Revenge of the Rattlesnake (36miles) the day before and did pretty well. plus all the riders that slayed it on the slime.

It was pretty cool having the XC race there, I hope they do it again like this next year, but have some mud tires for sale in the bike shop.

There were a few things that riders told me they liked at the "Double Down."

Cash payout- all classes
SL gates
Two runs
Good courses and well marked
XXC race on Saturday
Finish arena
Cheep lodging

Any other things that were good or need work, let me know.

We are going to keep it open on the weekends into November.

Timberline's trails are buff, 100% open and all the leaves are blown out- the tread is unreal. Come on over this weekend and see for yourself.

The forecast is looking like the snow will melt. This weekend doesn't look good, too much snow. Next weekend? If it is close we will be open.

I will post as the week goes by to let you know.

You will never guess what Timberline is about to do to their brand new DH bike trails this winter. Hope you like steep, technical tight turns on boards instead of wheels.

I personally look forward to seeing you all through the winter... and back for more DH in the spring.
