You couuld have guessed it, Rain. It was pretty severe in the morning so we waited it out and hit the trails as soon as it looked like it was letting up. It did let up some. Unfortunately the upper mountain remained a rainy mess, as it has been our entire time here. The other problem was with all the rain, the double diamonds were very slick and dangerous which created more traffic onto the less difficult trails. This and the fact that the downhill racing also limited the available trails meant that the lower trails were over ridden and became heavily damaged. It was a challenge.
I can't wait to come back here, and the fact that we only got to ride a small amount of the mountain makes it even more urgent.
Tomorrow were up early to start our long drive to Lake Tahoe to ride in Northstar. This is a premier park with a ton of trails and little chance of rain. The bad part is that its an 18 hour drive from here. Were going to drive in shifts and hope to make it in early enough to get a good nights rest and be at ready to roll when the lifts stat running at 10am.
The first slip I had on the slick ladders the first dat has developed into a nice bruise, no real soarness but it does look cool.
No porting tomorrow as were just driving.
