How many conversations have you had with your buddies where the topic of the 'most' has come up? Most vertical, most days, most rad? As riders we are constantly in pursuit of more trails and more laps but how do we satisfy this insatiable drive? Well, one way is already built right into your Bike Park pass. Starting now, WB+ is now available for Bike Park riders and by signing up you have access to all of your Bike Park stats from this season AND last at your fingertips.
All Bike Park passes come with RFID technology, which is a small chip in your pass that records your scans each time you load a lift and sends information to the WB+ app on your phone and desktop. RFID scanners are located at the bottom of each lift working to record each lap as you scan through.
Your pass to a sleepless summer just gave you another reason to stay awake at night.

I must be getting old as I still find the actual riding of bicycles to be kind of like the entire point of, you know, riding bikes. All this weekend warrior tracking b.s. is just a distraction.
