Written Report
Howdy, Beast Fans!
The weekend is here! The K-1 Gondola is spinning through Monday for mountain biking and Scenic Lift Rides. There is still lots of fun to be had at the Golf Course, Adventure Center and Bike Park as well. All trails in the Bike Park off Snowshed and Ramshead Express lifts are open including Black Magic, which is now open from top to bottom! Low Rider will reopen on Saturday, though Yo Vinny will remain closed off of the K-1 Gondola. The weather over the next few days looks fantastic and riding conditions are spectacular across the Bike Park. Now is your chance to pack the car and ship it up to The Beast for a good time!
Trail Crew is currently building a new Start Park at the bottom of Snowshed, bringing three new beginner mountain bike lines with excellent progression terrain to the Bike Park. The first two lines are expected to open midday on Saturday and the final line should be complete within the next couple of weeks. They've also got a few other projects in line, including some maintenance on Yo Vinny, adjusting the GoPro Whale Tail on Step It Up and they are looking ahead to the Fox US Open build later in August. Shoutout to the crew for making things happen this season! As always, stay tuned for more updates.
Compete in a new vision of racing this weekend at Ramshead from July 26-28th with Red Bull Downtime. This open-race format allows riders to run Goat Skull as many times as they want, when they want in order to punch in their fastest time. Register in advance or onsite at the base of Ramshead, grab a timing chip, and go for it! Goat Skull will remain open to the public throughout the event, though it will only be accessible from the top of the trail.
