maybe i will let you demo some of the new goods i have been working on over the winter :2thumbs:

[live2ride]

Yeah I wouldn't mind riding on opening day also, that is if it ever stops snowing.....raining....or being grappy weather!!!! I am contemplating on going down to Moab or St. George this weekend for some riding, it si supposted to be 85 and that might be way to hot for me since it has been ass cold here!

[ogdmfg]

i say bring on the crappy weather more traction instead of the dust

[accadacca]

Damn the cold! :frustrated:

[ogdmfg]

I think we need to think about putting together a roll call when we get closer

[live2ride]

Roll call would be cool. see who really shows up and then hammer it!

[ogdmfg]

I know for fact that I will be there, just look for the only shade in the parking lot and you will generally find me.hey livetoride ar you bringing the bbq on opening day

[fourtycal]

I'm out of town that weekend :ne_nau: but I plan to frequent the place this year, what a cool hangout you have :2thumbs:

[ogdmfg]

hey fourty, it is the reason that I suffer the 40 hours a week corporate whore job

[man_on_mountain]

I heard that they are only using the small lift for trails this year, because they are building an Alpine slide. I'm still pissed that they closed, and then it snowed pretty much the day after. My pass is worthless, not that I payed anything for it.

[ogdmfg]

uh oh I see the first signs of dirt on the webcam :eek2:

[greyhair biker]

I dunno...when is it?

[ogdmfg]

I am guessing memorial day weekend-so long away, oh wait alittle over two weeks away

[ogdmfg]

After a long break I decided to venture up to the mountain, with a few large snow drifts I found lower HK to be in good shape the burms were a little smaller than when I left them last october. I should have pics in a little while :nod:

[fourtycal]

I should have pics in a little while :nod:

[ogdmfg]

[ogdmfg]

Good god will the waiting ever end, I am trully going nuts, I think I am going to start pushing my bike up the mountain tonight after work and start riding there lift or no lift

[greyhair biker]

crap dude! That would drive me certifiable! The temtation must be terrible to just go and bust trail through the wet muck....I'm not a 'trail nazi' by any stretch but ya know what that does to good trail :haha:
.........trail up here is awesome and dry...you ought to come up to the dark side here and get the wiggles out :lol8:

[ogdmfg]

Ok, I feel a little bit beter knowing that will be running the lift, but now I have to wait another week to ride at the wolf, looks like we need to have roll call for the weekend of june 7

[provodh]

is it fine to ride. a bunch of us were gonna head up there and practice on saturday for the face the next week.

[ogdmfg]

I am going up there tonight after my meeting with ogden city for a freeride park, was up there last week and only saw a small patch of snow that was melting fast :2thumbs:

[live2ride]

So what about the rain? Man it would be nice if it didn't get to wet today.

[ogdmfg]

I would prefer the wet over the dry dusty anytime,

[Rara]

Just got back from Wolf. I found out that they are not offering a season pass this year. I am very disappointed with their decision to not offer season passes. Hopefully they will change their policy soon...

I remember at the end of the year race last year the top prize was a season pass.

[greyhair biker]

So for a newbie to the mecca that is the Wolf, what's the cost of a lift...is it officially open...can I get up there without the lift on a DH rig...etc. :mrgreen: Anything else I should know?

[mtnbiker62]

The mountain was extremely wet, so they only opened Green Mile. I made one trip down, and decided to bag it for the day...it was just too wet. I was extremely disappointed at the other riders there, too. I followed two young rippers down the mountain, and they skidded their 8" travel DH bikes down the whole mountain. They skidded into every corner...on Green Mile, nonetheless (very mild trail), and blew out every corner...no exceptions. I understand, now, why the trails were so dusty last year. When I mentioned the fact that the trails were extremely slippery and muddy to the other riders at the bottom, most didn't seem to care. I guess the Mountain Dew riders have taken over the Wolf, and I don't think I'll be back. I can have an all day pass at the Basin for the same price as Wolf, and the riders and staff seem to care more about the trails at the Basin, so I'll probably be spending my money there from now on.

[mtnbiker62]

$20 per day, no DH rig required. Any bike will work for most of the trails. I rode my 130 mm hardtail yesterday, and didn't feel over my head...of course, they only had one trail open.

I was there saturday, the trails were in great shape , I did not have to skid on any corner, most of the guys I was riding with are the older generation of downhillers who ride not slide, we ended up riding my lower trail and it was in great shape, as for snowbasin if i want that much uphill I will ride the shoreline

[mtnbiker62]

Sounds like the perfect situation...you get what you want at the Wolf, and I get what I want at the Basin. It's cool that we have so much choice so close. You guys enjoy yourselves up there. :five:
