Panorama Bike Park Opening - Be Careful What You Wish For!
I was up in Panorama last weekend and had to ask myself if this hill has mountain biking as a priority or a convenient add-on to the golf and family fun scene. I have been going up there for the last 8 years and have seen a steady decline in the over all condition of the bike park. I admit that there are some enjoyable new runs like upper-Bender and some new work on Mercy Me but to let the rest of the hill (4-cross, drop park, Crazy Train etc.) slowly decay is tragic. I hope they can hire more trail crew and buff that place up to at least some of it's former glory.
