It's strange to me that Vail basically.gave up on the canyons bike park almost immediately. Seemed like they stepped into a successful operation and just let it die.... It's sad and another example of Vail not caring about the communities it occupies.Quote:

I've seen ebikes all over PC trails this summer and my dad is one of em. I've given up caring about ebikes....
Buddy of mine rode the MoPi to Big Mountain to Lookout Peak loop last week, no signs of snow and the brush isn't murderous yet.Quote:

I have yet to see one of them ride something cool though, with the motor I'd be going up all kinds of nasty shit I have no hope of ever touching with the self-powered version.Quote:

Now if I could only straighten my index fingers which are bent to the shape of the brake lever...

a week-ish back I saw a grayhair on an ebike going up dry creek lol. like taking a helicopter to superior, just lazy... (the dude was clearly more than fit enough to make the climb)
We ended up riding the bike park. It was great! Never waited more than 1 chair and rarely encountered anyone on trail. Thieves Forrest and Fire Swamp are LOOOOSE. Super fun but it was like riding on marbles up top. We had a blast and hit all the trails that sounded worth while.Quote:

Lots of people dis on riding lifts. I think it’s fun as hell. Best way to improve descending skills. Midweek is like a pow day with no lines. Just spent some time in Crested butte and sun valley. Both places have unreal epic long single track rides. But my legs could’ve used a lift day at both places to recover and still go for a rip. Cold springs via lifts at sun valley is as good as it gets for lift served single track. Was bummed that lift served biking was closed. PC riding is great and most of us get spoiled by it. Glad you had a good time.

So fun to watch kids absolutely crush stuff that you routinely flail on, it's so natural to them.
Sam: Dad, do you think I could ride the A line on the Spine?
Dad: Yeah, for sure let's try it!
Sam: Ok, done and done. (And he did on the first go.)
Mom: I'll never, ever keep up with this 10 year old kid. Ever ;)
Y'all wasatchers are welcome to (responsibly) come on down to telluride, we are running the bike park Thurs to Sun
I've got a love/hate relationship with this trail. Crossed a few tiny snow piles in the shade but otherwise G2G.

Which jump? the pics aren't Deer ValleyQuote:

Sucks to hear that DV might be taking out the upper EE jumps. Weird decision considering how long they've been there.
Regardless, poster worthy pics! SweetQuote:

Mar123 that second jump is huge! Sorry to see the wheel exploded.
I am also really curious where that is. I guess it's time to start exploring a bit more.
Kind of looks like an area with a bunch of biting insects and jibber trash from the winter.
If that was my rim, it would have been from riding around that jump, while slapping flies off my face and crashing into a big ass hole in ground.
ha, lots of insects and a couple of deflated balloons that mustve floated over from a party somewhere.Quote:

Pretty rad that peeps are building this stuff, keeps the juices flowing.
I think BMT was good this evening. I kinda blacked out for a bit just above the Peruvian lift and things were fuzzy after that.

That jump is 3x the gap of the Evil Empire ones.

To this point, there was still a sign saying it goes dh only at 11 am, but seems like it's leftover from prior years. They're not loading bikes on the team and my buddy said BMT is in great shape (it was my first time down it)Quote:
