Option C:
use the highspeed detachable lift. if it detaches they can run it faster and aren't governed by the "slow moving" rules!

It wouldn't piss me off so much if the lift staff demonstrated some haste when loading bikes. The combination of a slow lift, long lines, and empty cars going up the mountain really pissed me off.
There should be a hook on every chair or you should ride up with your damn bike like every other mountain in the world.

Yeah, the lift sucks but that is all part of the Wisp experience. Doubt that they will ever make much an effort to change it.
On a sidenote, that road gap is awesome. I cleared it and the rush after it was awesome. It definately takes some balls though. I'll be posting pics as soon as I get them.

Good news! Feedback from the event was great! Trailwork will continue all summer. Met with the top dogs at the resort and word is, hooks will be added to every chair and the lift should be sped up for race weekends. Combine that with bike shuttles and access should no longer be a concern. FYI Wisp does not have any detachable chairlifts.
Dual trck is now complete - The best in the country - AGAIN!

Even if some folk have issues with the road team, we're still the best.
However, the claim of "the best DS in the country" might be reaching a bit...
Great work on the trails over the winter for sure. Everything was fast and flowy as usual, and the new stunts (those that I had the balls to hit) were smooth like butter.

It can only get better!!!
Super great job on the vid TFK - nice work!
Mike,
When will the results be posted online? I know what my time was, but I wanted to see how some other people did. Also know if Nick plans on posting the pics he took that day?

That bears repeating.
And the dual track was looking very promising on Sunday; can't wait to check out the final product this weekend! Great work all around, Mike, Justin, Malakai, etc...!
I didn't make it up this past weekend(though my bud Mike did on his SC Nomad) but the aforementioned Bumble Bee Campground RULES. I've camped there twice now while hitting up Wisp and the tent camping has never been too crowded or expensive...which makes for a pleasant private property party atmosphere devoid of Da Man. Besides being able to respectfully raise Hell, they've got (gulp) actual warm showers and clean shi++ers. Whodathunkit?
I guess some of the lads prerode what was done of the dual last weekend. They were impressed until Iced Coffay ate the ground. Then they were more impressed!
