Angel Fire Preview Part 2

Jun 2, 2011
by Long Nguyen  
It’s only a few more days until the 1st gravity round of the Mountain States Cup Chile Challenge in Angel Fire, New Mexico. Since I have had some spare time, I thought I would take a day trip up to Angel Fire Resort to check out what is to come for this up coming weekend.

The morning started out with the weather being perfect and the drive laid back. When I got to the resort I was able to catch up with Chris Boice of Yeti/ Fox and he talked about another new section change, while also taking a run with his helmet cam. As you will see, the footage will be quit bumpy but most will get an idea of what to expect.

Unfortunately I was unable to get any footage of the dual slalom course because Mother Nature wanted to throw some hail, rain, and lighting on us. But I hope to see everyone out this weekend riding and racing.
