Mt. Bachelor Bike Park update for August 4th, 2013

By White Lotus Sports on August 5, 2013 • ( 1 )

Aside from some minor finish work that will occur shortly before opening, the Rattlesnake and Blade Runner trails are largely complete! The focus now continues to be on the 4-mile long Lava Flow trail, our longest and easiest top-to-bottom trail. It’s a wider excavated trail and we’re working our way from the top-down. Farther west, the hand trail crew has been dispatched to Last Chance. This winding, difficult single-track trail in the Outback area starts at Pine Marten Lodge and switches-back through the Modo, Leeway and the Peckerwoods areas. The goal is to have Last Chance complete down to the 21 Road (near the Cinder Cone saddle) by our September opening. As for the weather, last week’s thunderstorms caused a work slow-down, but the rain really helped settle the dust. With the thunderstorms gone, speedy work has resumed!
