Parking:


If there is snow, parking can be a tad bit tight and awkward, BUT it's not a huge problem. If there is snow on the ground, cars will need to park at the entrance and ride back in. Don't worry, you can bring a bag back with you and chill inside. Four wheel drives can head right on back in the snow, as well as all wheel drives and vehicles with good traction.

Course:


The name of the game is tight and twisty single track with logs, fast steep climbs, a few longer hauls, and a million trees to dodge. I'll try to keep you out of the creek. Expect each lap to be just under a half hour to make for a race that ends just before the next one.
