TACKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Man and I dragged Wayne P out for some shuttles. Yes, Wayne P shuttling!

The trails were mint. Perfect shape. And sooooooo grippy. Even the chundery part leadng up to the corkscrew had grip.

BUT……………………….

When we left from retrieving our vehicles after our last run, it was puking snow at the top. Could be the last Harper ride of the season.

Unless…..

Snonw rides anyone??

I thought I was the first. Didn't see any tracks on the tranny. It is sweet though. Same with the table booter thingy below it.

Very nice.

We finished it late Sunday in the dark.
There's a down ramp on it now so you can still gap it to the dirt, but now you can progress on it instead of the full commitment factor.

and I don't want to hear any complaints about "dummying things down"

We're building for 90% of the riders, and creating safer progression.

Enjoy!

A few hardy types were still riding through the fog yesterday.

This woodwork is all trimmed up and ready for the spring.

Fantastic temps for building so we cleaned up a few areas, cleared a downed tree and fixed a few bomb holes.

Pics to get your stoke on for this weekend (or next spring if it snows)

Ya there are some keeners in town this season for sure. Amazing to be riding these conditions in the middle of November. We should be skiing this weekend but it looks like we'll be treated to another riding weekend!
