Skyline should be back in action in the next few days with a several new drops and wider lines. We’re keeping the vibe the same and trying to honour original trail as much as possible by keeping the off camber sections and roots intact as much as posable while giving riders above more room to maneuver.
Switchcraft is getting a few short reroutes to add a bit of length and slow the overall pace of the trail down a smidgen. You’ll get a few more jumps and step downs along the way too. I’d say we have 1-2 more days of machine work to do on it to add in some more berms and beef up a few rollers, then it’s packing and hand shaping time. Soil over there was pretty loose and super dry, so it’l take a bit more time to get it all packed in, but yesterdays rain will help a ton with that!
Switchcraft is back in action now too. May see a few short closures as work is being completed on the new trail Kodiak beside it but otherwise go have some fun!
We added a few new sections including a new set of turns at the top plus a few traverses mid way to add some distance and get you all a few more features to play on.
Whopper is getting pretty overgrown in places.
Adds to the fun if you ask me, but some people don’t like flying around a corner blind to see a rock in the middle of the trail.
Gore single track is mint right now!
Rides at 11am and 4pm today(Sat)
New pump trail is Ridable (finishing touches are not done) right off event grounds, kids are already loving it!
The good: singletrack is in pretty good shape. Few muddy spots and some of the newer trails are pretty soft.
The bad: the climb road is completely washed out and damn near unclimbable. You can tell people are climbing it but my god its a brutal climb now. Did 2 climbs up it and had to hike 3/4 of the way then decided to see if theres another way. If you keep going down Eldridge rd for about 10-15 mins theres a trail on your right thats the backside of the original climb road. Its in pretty good shape and takes you right to the top of KAZ.
Some hikers reported it was really muddy yesterday, likely needs another day at least to dry out. With so much rain, it seems like most places are reaching capacity for absorption, unlike a normal August where the rain would barely be noticed afterward.
Whopper has held up to the monsoon season with the exception of the bridge getting washed out. It’s intact, just needs a group ride to move it back in to place.
