 I chuckled at the shots of them ripping through packed berms. Those berms were like that for about one day, now they are dust piles. It's not the builders fault, that's just the way the dirt is up there. It's still fun, but the trails on that side look nothing like this video. Expect your wheels to be buried up to the axles in dust.

 Although it's not the builder's fault, it seems like they should've invested the effort into something that would last longer in the climate there (which is fairly constant).

 I agree. Northstar needs to step it up with more trails. They have all the terrain needed to make a world class park. I think they may be having issues with the forestry. Sad, they could draw a much better crowd and lot more $$$s with some more trails. Still love it cause its what i have for the summer, season ticket but yeah bring on more trails!!!

 Quote from Northstar employee.... "it's politics you don't understand. We want to open the trail (gypsy) it's complicated and it's a publicly owned company (vail) so they want everyone to be able to ride it." I thought that's why there are signs that go to each trail for the skill level you are. Build some new blues and some blacks I don't get how you can sit there and say your working when I see one maybe two guys working ever.

 As much as I love northstar, they are in for a rude awakening the second they get some competition (another park that's close).

 Agree but where is the competition around here

 When was the last time any of you were even there? The Vista lift is now open 7 days a week, starting on 6/27, and if you have ridden any of the vista side this year you would see they have been doing some trail work. Could N* be better? Of course, but they are headed in the right direction; they have hired more crewers and are working on the trails. Running a bike park is expensive, so if you want them to improve, you should go visit the park and ride, instead of complaining and waiting for it to change... they are not the only ones who need to be proactive!

 Just to clarify, the Vista lift isn't open every day. It's just Zepher that runs everyday. Vista is open June 27 - Aug 10, Fri - Sun only.

 Mammoth is still king, but Summit is super fun. More trails would suit BB well.

 Big bear is a joke compared to Northstar or Mammoth
