Here is a sneak preview of the new trail we are cutting we being (myself and Jake (VSBjake) This is just the first 100ft of the trail. The pics dont do it justice. Come check it out yourself!
That is the exact response we were looking for!!!!!Looks a little too flowy.
But seriously, looks like fun, in a kind of "charge it, and hope for the best"
I assume you mean Solvista, not sol vist, and in that case, notes are being taken. We'll do our best to change the climate, add rocks larger than are on the mountain and install a misting system to make moss grow on those rocks. Actually, no, we'll throw those notes away, we'll just keep up what we are doing. By the way, which one of the jumps was the big stupid one?the folks at sol vist should take some notes. THAT IS MOUNTAIN BIKING! please don't ruin it with some big stupid jump! I wish it was closer, I'd help you build it. love it, great job keep the pics coming.
Whistler has a misting system....We'll do our best to change the climate, add rocks larger than are on the mountain and install a misting system to make moss grow on those rocks.

Aside from that off topic response, the trail looks good, not unlike some Snowshoe courses from the past...
Yes we are were working on the details right now.....but here are the definates,Are you guys putting on a race this year?
The Rattlesnake at Timberline was canceled this year. I have already talked to JR about this, he and I are planning all of this.Not sure if I'm on the same page as drt-jumper, but am assuming JR is planning a similar format and schedule as the race we put on last year. We ran it in conjunction with the Revenge of the Rattlesnake, which is a burly 40k xcountry race that is part of WVMBA sanctioned Ultra series. WVMBA also sanctioned our race last year which was a big help with registration and insurance and helped bring racers from the XC crowd. The turnout was awesome for a rainy slopfest, and the endurance crowd brought kegs, good vibes and some fast racing. The rider that posted the fastest track time on both DH courses also ended up in the top 15 the day before on a 40+k sufferfest that went from T-line up into the sods and then into Davis.
The Rattlesnake runs Sept 26 this year.
(edit) Just checked, there is a GE race at Blue Mountain scheduled at the same time. Are there any races scheduled between Aug 29 and Sept 26?
Don't think they canceled the Rattlesnake, just probably won't run it off of Timberline due to the Dolly Sods being designated wilderness and alot of epic riding closed due to this.The Rattlesnake at Timberline was canceled this year.

Not sure what you're saying here, but Dolly Sods has been designated wilderness for 20+ years. Doubt there will/was ever any type of bike race held within the boundaries.Don't think they canceled the Rattlesnake, just probably won't run it off of Timberline due to the Dolly Sods being designated wilderness and alot of epic riding closed due to this.
Settle down there....sorry I meant that Timberlines portion of the even was cancelled, not the entire race. Sorry for the confusion.Originally Posted by drt_jumper

Number 2: Dolly Sods North is where mountain bikers have been riding, racing and doing trail maintenance for the last 20+ years. In 2009, over the objections of almost every local business, all local government and business groups and the U.S. Forest Service, our sell out Congress prostitutes passed the Wilderness legislation that made Dolly Sods North part of the existing Dolly Sods Wilderness. That is reason number one why the Rattlesnake will not start at Timberline this year.
