Trail maintenance this year has tripled from the past. Many new berms, tons of drainage, wall rides and jumps have been added to our 27 trails. We even made a new beginner trail that anyone can ride!

Been pretty busy this year so we have not had time to start threads and put all the pictures up that we have in the past.

Here a few pictures from local photographer Jake Sporn.

The 5 K DH will be on 9-10/11

New entrance to trail # 12 Opiate:

New bridge on Opiate. Notice the old bridge below this new one. Last year that was the bridge on the lower part of the 5 K DH with the small wall ride on it. Well, this springs rain washed that wall ride out! This new bridge should be high enough to clear any size rapids. Downhillers have been gapping the river now!

The new bridge came out great. I guess there were some stupid rocks in the way:

Enhanced shuttle service should start by August 1:

No worries as the Cloudsplitter Gondola will still take you to the expert stuff. The enhanced shuttle service will be perfect for the sport level rider and those progressing from our mini-bus shuttle.

The same lift pass gets you unlimited rides on all 3 modes of uphill transport. The new shuttle will also be great for when the gondola is on hold. This will get high enough for a 1,488 foot descent.

Erik Nelson seen here setting the new high mark on the 1st wall ride on the South East Shore (trail # 2):

Between east coast world cups Erik, Jackie & Dante Harmony and Darien Harvey all hit this wall ride and then went pretty big on the gap jump immediately after the wall.The S.E. Shore currently has 2 wall rides, 1 nice 5 foot drop, a sweet gap jump & several berms and hits the entire trail.
