Wisp - Any pics available of the new features?

Thanks in advance!

Sweet, how do we go about getting a season pass? Im looking to order one soon.

[Jettj45]

I'm also looking to order one, is there anywhere online we can do that or a wisp extension to call?

[JiveFoolSucka]

Thanks for the update. Have you guys had any luck looking into speeding the lift up on race weekends? I understand the constraints the state puts on you in regulating the speed. Any way we can get it a bit faster for just race weekends?

I have a season pass I won at biketoberjam I'll sell/trade. Lemme know folks.

[ridiculous]

ah the dates on pink bike are wrong, thank god.

We'll be there again this Sunday 4/20
Built a new bridge to rock drop in the Edgewoods dirt park.
Layed out a new drop into a steep chute off of HighRoller which leads to a new 20' road gap.
Should be able to complete both this weekend.
2008 should be great at Wisp Resort.

Any chance of getting a decent trail map put together this year?

[BigHitComp04]

We have someone doing that as we speak. Using GPS and real pics should make for a nice map. Racer's Edge will be adding a bunch of signage to support the map. Hope to see you at Wisp Resort.

I'm bummed out I am living across the country from Wisp this year. Good times have always been had there, met some of my best friends, had a lot of drinks, chased some rednecks.

Good times, you kids have fun out there.

[sunnerbeanmtb]

We will miss you man. Trust me, there will be some photos sent to you asap! Hope you are healing well. =)

[sunnerbeanmtb]

Wow Wisp guys! Just looked at the pictures! I am super excited this year! Looks liek you folks have put in some hard work already. Remind me to bring you guys a 30 pack present for being awesome and putting up with us for the past 3 years! See you soon!

[yellowrake]

I was kind of planning on coming up just to get the hell out of the house. Free lift pass for moral support?

[oldskoolbiker]

Ok so I called the Wisp hotel to reserve my room for the first race, and asked about the "Mountain bike racer rate".

They said they have not been infomed of any special rate this summer for racers, and rooms are from $89-$109/night. I think last year the racer price was $69.

Anyway Can Mike or Wispoutdoors tell me if a racer discount is in the works?

Thanks.

[rpk1988]

Is there anyway we could get some more information about the first race? I am finding it rather hard to find info unless it hasnt been decided yet. Like what the schedule is for Saturday and Sunday and if there is still a "racers rate" like Delmar asked. I am looking forward to racing and riding the new trails.
