Hey guys!

It's been an interesting few months since opening the bike park on July 1. We are still in our infancy and have got a lot of great feedback about the park. We try to meet everyone that comes out and talk to them, valuing their opinion on what we can offer them to maximize their experience. For that, we can't thank you enough! We depend on the support of the community and so far it's been great.

That said, I have to unfortunately announce the resort has decided to trim back operating hours for the entire Adventure Park and that includes the bike park. Our new hours are as follows:

Friday 4pm-Dusk, Saturday 10am-Dusk, Sunday 10am-6pm.

We are open in the wet!

Events:

Sept 25th - "Hotdogs and Handlebars" Rider Appreciation Day

Come out and meet the trail crew and enjoy a bbq as well as some other goodies. Submit formal feedback for the resort to evaluate and just hang out and do some riding. Photographers are welcome, come shoot your buddies off the big drop!



Thanks guys!

So the race will be on the blue trails? How are you going to handle the timing?

We use the same equipment the winter division uses for ski races. Drop in through the gates and it catches you on your way across the line.

That info is coming soon.

This is a resort run event, everything is internal. Just sign up, do your waivers and rip.

That's really unfortunate about the hours getting trimmed back. I thought running it from Thursday-Sunday was a huge advantage over Blue. I was really hoping to head there for a few Thursdays and Fridays.

No kidding.

It came as a surprise to us. It was announced on the website before any staff was notified...

Not yet. Honestly they might just be blowing smoke at this point.

The trails may be great, but everything else isn't. Not enough interest? From the resort side yes, not from the community.

I hope we end up doing something for you guys. We worked incredibly hard to get this done, from the proposal stages all through the building phase and the online hustling. It really takes a toll on you. It would be a goddamn shame to not give back to the folks who helped us out.
