Up the CT and down Jefferson is the way to go. But if anything, the DH on the other side is even better. First its swoopy and fast, then a super chundery technical DH for maybe 1500 vert. Then rolly, up and down and then a big up to West Ridge, and then some of the fastest funnest DH around, with the option to go to Breck or Keystone.
Hit up Diablow two Mondays in a row, not many pics. I'm not a dropping fool - finally managed to do the porch, flume, and smaller pipeline drops. All super smoothe, and left me feeling super wussy for having avoided them for so long.
Eli on the Flume drop.

Managed this on BMW, which ended my day. One of the new WTB FR tubeless ready rim shapped things is on the way to replace.

Dear Park City,
Thanks for the Mild Mountain Moisture. It made for a Divine Dustless Descent.

sent in the dh fork for a much needed rebuild so out with the pedaly bike. 3 distinctly different rides
https://vimeo.com/47346471
inspired by the "i suck at jumping/dh'ing threads", i picked up the book recommended in the thread...lopes/mccormack's "mastering mountain bike skills"
most of you will scoff, but at age 40 (almost 41), i just learned to wheelie today! [well, at least since i was 12...]

^^^ Did you do that ride GoldenBoy recommended?
Yep. Some hike a bike sections, at least for me. I'm sure GB can clean most if not all of it. The downhill sections were worth it especially Hunter's. Great views out there.
Last weekend at Walker Ranch, near Boulder, Colorado.

Start at Jones Pass, and go south towards Herman Gulch. What you see above is most of the climb, then it's downhill for ~5 miles.Quote:

Cool, thanks. I was thinking it might be fun to do that ride and scope out some potential lines for the winter.Quote:

Ya super fun, even the climbs. 4th time and I've yet to clean it. One dab twice in different spots. @ gripen , if you get a chance check out "rock oven" at skaha. Similar with the short techie climbs once your up there and fun rock face lines on the down. @ Robnow , that's how it should be done. Not sure my legs could handle that carrying the spare tire thoughQuote:
