Please note, Goat Skull will be closed Thursday, July 27-Sunday, July 30 for the Pro GRT event. All other trails will remain open.

from what I heard yesterday they can still use some course monitors for the race this weekend if anyone wants to volunteer...there are perks including vouchers and being up close to the best action....not sure what the whole deal is...

Saw the competition from the Rams head chair Sunday. The trail monitors blow whistles after a person rides by them. Never knew that.

Some trail were closed at Rams. Side Show Bob trail was great. Headed over to Bear for Yo Vinnie and others. The trails at Rams and Snowshed are more fun and a little easier than that old single track up top.

Did the zip line 5 times. Good to see the regulars at the Cooler in the mountains.

Never saw anyone actually get up on the water jet thing in the pond.

Congrats to Captain Hafski and his wedding band!

Casey's Caboose. Exactly how you remembered it. (with some new varnish). At least it's open again.

you rode yo vinnie?

I didn't get a chance to watch any of the races. I'm not much a spectator anyway. But I did talk to some of the racers on the lift rides up Saturday. I was a bit surprised to hear Goat Skull is considered too easy. Regardless, I had an awesome long weekend riding. Rode Pine Hill with my 11 year old on Thursday before breaking out the dh rig at K. Rode DH Friday and Saturday both with my little one and alone. Then took a dip at Thundering Falls with the girls and dog. Rode GMT yesterday, then rode dh with my kid. GMT was fantastic. Awesome place to ride. Highlight of the weekend. I hooked up with a couple great riders and did some of the best riding all year. It is a must do up here.

and congrats to K riders Mazie Hayden first place in her class and Will Goody 3rd in his class...

Folks who frequent the park might have run into this young gal on the trails over the past few years. Mazie Hayden just placed 2nd among all female competitors at the USA Cycling Beast of the East GRT at Killington... Including pros from Europe and around the US (btw, she's 16).

Watch out, here she comes !

Some walking required on Vinnie. Bailed to Snakebite.

Those trails have not changed much since they had numbers instead of names.

I can do that knarly stuff in CT. Really like the groomed stuff on Rams. Looking forward to Krusty in the fall.

Hope I can find them in the winter now...

Mountain bike trails typically don't make the best ski lines because the traverse the fall line and they are not that steep no matter how steep they feel on a bike. Yo Vinny only has 1 good hidden shoot at the end and you have to work for it. I am sure you've hit the funny bone shoot and didn't even know it. That gets poached right away.
