We went to snow summit yesterday and the place was packed!
There were at least 500 people!
Lines were huge and people of all levels were out on the trails!
But the lines died down in the afternoon and I got about 10 or 11 runs in.
I think I might have pissed some of them off, but oh well.
Two trails are only open, and you can see work being done on a third trail.
It cost $32 dollars for the lift ticket.
They have two lifts open but can only load one bike per lift, so things move a little slow.
From now on, the park is open all week long!
The weather was mild and the air was dry, but it was an awesome time!

A 160mm bike is perfect for the bike park.
I was going to take my Nomad, but I had made some changes to my DH bike and wanted to test it.
I'm taking my Nomad (160mm travel) this Friday.

I do recommend a full face helmet and knee/elbow pads.
Sections of the trail are loose.

Nice! I saw your video on pinkbike. We were up there on Friday and the line was empty, no waiting at all!
