I know this is waaayyy early, but...did they complete the construction that closed N* this season? Or is it near completion so that it won't interfere with next season? What's it look like for 07 
or

I don't know what I will do if they aren't open next season.
Move?
Sell my dh bike?
Cry?

Last winter I decided that a real DH bike was in order...So I built up a DHR/06 888/DHS. That F'in bike has seen nothing but the carpet in my house. With family and business, I don't get very much "fun time" for myself...N* was my exit
Funny. I was just on the phone talking with a buddy about hitting Auburn today for some shuttles and he was on the Northstar website. He was saying that it looks like they upgraded the lifts to accomodate bikes and that it is supposed to be open for '07.
I think they upgraded the upper lift last year to whistler style ones that don't mess up your bike.
From my inside N* source, they will in fact be open next year.
That's cool about the lifts. I've only been to whistler, so what were the old ones like?
What are the lifts at Mammoth like?

Same thing you did this season.
I dunno, I am just kinda tired of crappy jumps and drops to uphill landings, not to mention being lied to about them being open for last season, and just being thier bitch in general. I'm pretty much done with that place. I hope to see them step it up. That place has tons of potential (sp?)
Yeah me too but like a crack 'ho to the man pushing cut rock, I will be back anyway. And so will you.
Nope.
You know you are ganna come up to teh star and ride with me and ghettogt
HA!Having an old man like me kick your ass down the trail kinda got old I guess
I just got tired of waiting for you to get your tire fixed.
Well it took you placing a nail in my tire to slow me down
Their old lifts hung the bike by the top tube and f'd up your precious paint. Mammoth you ride in the gondola.
I still got tons of riding in, mostly xc/trail stuff. Rode d-ville a bunch and Mammoth a few times. Took a trip to Moab and rode Park City.
I really miss close lift-assisted riding. It's hard to justify even owning a downhill bike when I only used it a couple of days this year.
And yes. I feel shortchanged by the * as well. It would have been awesome for another resort like Squaw jump in and take advantage of the uproar. They could have unveiled a whole new mountain at the same time N* was trying to patch things up with the people it pissed off.
Thanks for answering the question.
Squaw is HUGE. It would (edit: be) so awsome for biking.

Squaw used to host a pretty killer race.. gnarly too from what I've seen in video's.
I would fly from salt lake city to ride at the *, did it in 05
Yeah, but when you go with Wisecarver, you know you are going hucking big!
I think I would rather drink bleach then ride with that guy
well thats good they'll be open next year. it is nice to have lift access so close. but that place could be A LOT better. boondocks,karpiel,and competition were the only ones i liked. need more drops,some bridges, and maybe some berms without 15" holes in em!
Believe it or not, that was in response to people whining about rocks in the berms......so they took them out.......not realizing there's more rock down there.
Un f-ing believable.......
Auburn tomorrow or friday morning? anyone?
You guys are teh suck.
I must work to pay for stuff.
Stuff is the anti fun.
^^^ I made a heiko ^^^
I think that makes me teh sucker.

Sucka pish Rockville is rain ville, I love that place with my singlespeed in the pouring rain.
True, Rockville is one of the only places that is arguably better in the rain.
It's also cool that you can have fun on anything from a basic ss to a full dh bike.

Yeah, ridden the dh bike out there a few times...good stuff.
waterfall
There's way, way better stuff out there than waterfall. More fun at least.
I can pedal 1/4 mile to the back entrance, so I know that park retardedly well. I'm actually pretty tired of it, so I ride diff bikes there and ride trails diff directions to spice it up.
I really can't complain. It's great riding and Skyline is only ~15minutes away. I just miss the easy access, extreme variety of trails from when I lived in SLO.
I love N*, but only on the first day of riding... because the trails are clean.
I've heard that it'll be open, but I've also heard that they totally lied about "grooming" the trails this year, so that next year would be good.
I'm told it was a mess this summer...
I do miss it though.
*bling bling*

er.. there wasn't a "lie" about grooming. It was a lie about opening.
they didn't even open this year.
That wasn't really "open" cuz you had to work for a shop.
unless I missed out.. in that case I'll cry (on the inside).
