On Saturday the lift lines were reminiscent of Whistler. It was actually kinda fun for closing weekend to have long lines as you got to chat with people between runs instead of just jump straight back on the lift for another run. Even Ollie lift had lift lines which is never the case!
Amber had and awesome weekend and hit a bunch of features for the first time, getting better and better as the weekend went on. This is the first drop on No Quarter.
She also had one last race to do just for fun. It was the Conference Collegiate Championships. The collegiate series is super laid back but surprisingly well attended for the women with Amber's category (A) having 10 competitors.
The trail crew continues to work on and improve this mountain. The really tough rock double to exit Trestle DH has been upgraded to an elevated step down that you can hit almost as fast as humanly possible or hit at a more comfortable speed. Amber hits it here.
The first rock blob up on Trestle.
On Sunday we did some runs with friends who had never DH'd before. This is Meatball doing the Rock Garden on Double Jeopardy. We also rode with Mike Glicksman who was enjoying the evils of a bike not intended for uphill peddling as a break from his Cross Country and Cyclecross racing endeavors. They both had a blast!
A great weekend to close out an excellent summer! We will be on trail bikes for a while now until winter arrives in it's fullness.
