 idk I'm just kidding with him. the weight limit is 38 pounds and they're pretty serious about it. One guy took my bike and weighed it (it was 38 pounds) and he said the weight limit mostly because the lift guys have to put the bikes on the hooks all day and it gets tiring.

 Yea if it's your first time they let you ride for the day but they take down your name and say you can't come back.

 they weighed my bike and said it was too heavy so they took my name down and said i couldn't ride it there anymore but the let me stay there for the rest of the day... so basically you could go for the day but if they take your name down then you cant go back

 yeah they took my name after i rode 2 weekends in a row! =[ hehehe good thing theres 4x4 access and i own a truck lol
  • 1 0
 how did you get by them those 2 weekends
  • 2 0
 Well, they would make comments each time they put my bike on the lift like" how much does this weigh?" "now thats a DH bike" stuff like that. it was pretty akward because they didnt turn me down those 2 weekends but kept saying shit like there was a problem. im not a huge fan of that crap, i paid the same as the guy with the 38 lbs bike in front of me, mine weighs 3 lbs more so im not allowed to ride the lift? their operation is crappy. Some of the trails up there are pretty gnar and i see people with xc bikes walking down half the stuff, when they stop restricting bikes ill go back lol
