Walking the Course

We walked the course today, same course as last year pretty much.
  1. I guess they didnt learn from last year because there is barely any tape and people will be cutting again.
  2. Also the cheater line around that knarly rock drop thing is a lot longer, so forsure wont be faster this year.
  3. Also there is an alternate route around that crazy rock garden.
  1. The major change is after those wood drop jump things, You can go off to the right where the pro line is and drop onto the ski run (sketchy) or go around on last years course.
  2. Lastly, the ending does have the hip, but there is a straight line that does a sharp right onto the old trail, but the grass is not marked off and that will be the fastest line

I thought that the course would be wet with the rain that we had coming up here, but it is dry in most sections, and there might even be some dust. Email me if you have any questions (mtbphoto(at)gmail(dot)com) Now for the photos!

Top rock drop section

Crazy rock garden called "barney rubble"

New section, drop off to who knows where to the right or take the old course to the left, the old course I am guess will take 10-15 seconds longer

Other view of the line above

This is toward the bottom of the section mentioned in the 2nd #2

And those crazy ski jumps, the are way bigger when you are right above or below them
