WhoAmI Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 We're in the process of building a new intermediate trail that is planned to have six wooden features: a step-up roller with a rollable jump at the end (pictured,) a multi-tiered wall ride that will end in an optional drop, a wooden drop to dirt transition, and three wooden tabletop jumps. You can see the first wooden feature from the lift and from the first mountain road intersection with Viper's Den. Trail length is estimated to be about 1'000 feet, and it'll exit on the second mountain road at Viper's Den. Scheduled completion time is six weeks. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamwa Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 While we are talking SM, are there any runs like the Hill of Life out there? Just eroded fall line with ledges? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks While we don't have one planned or budgeted, we've been talking about a more...natural black or double black run.

WhoAmI Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 We have some minor finish work to do on this wall, as well as shape the landing before this and the entrance and exits for the wall. Our projected timeline to open this trail is another four weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circuitbreaker Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I've been waiting to go back to Spider. I am definitely going to visit when this trail opens. Please keep the updates coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinerider Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 When viewed from above. You will definitely be able to see people hit the first wood feature, as well as the wallride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoAmI Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 It got rocky after the wall ride, so we're in the process of smoothing it out for that slope-style feel we created on the upper section. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoAmI Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) This is the 4th wooden feature on the new (dark) blue trail we're building. You'll be carrying quite a bit of speed coming up to it, particularly if you sent it off the wall ride two features up. This one will consist of a 25' ramp up to a 20' turning platform 5' off the ground at the top of the ramp. As the platform turns, the ground below is descending, so the high point before the down ramp well over 6' off the ground. The exit ramp will be between 10' and 15' long, and you'll be able to roll it or optionally huck off it to a dirt landing.

circuitbreaker Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Sounds like a great feature for drop progression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're hoping to have it open in two weeks, but that decision is made at a higher level than me. =^) 2 hours ago, circuitbreaker said: Sounds like a great feature for drop progression. We designed it to be a progressively more challenging trail than Viper's Den for blue riders. Of course, this is more of a bike park trail than a classic DH trail.
