Myself and the fam. be in attendance, but i have a question for you, Mike-If you shuttle Ewan and myself up to the pumptrack, can we also catch a ride back down? I'd like to bring him up there to have him ride it (and think he'd have a blast!), but getting down for an almost 4 year old on a push bike is another story...

Jim,
Today I will be making the beginner trail down from the pump track. I just use a weed wacker and traverse across the ski trail Lower Valley. That's the ski trail on the bottom you always see when the gondola 1st starts going up. One small section in the woods, but it's the only woods section without any roots. Probably 'cause it just hasn't been ridden enough. Ewan should be fine.

Ewan should def enter this contest!

I'm sure he'd love to do that ride, but his push bike only has "foot brakes"...and he's worn out 2 pairs of shoes this spring thus far! Dad votes NO after chasing him down the fire roads of Plattekill..
