Had predicted an early Creek opening a few weeks back, going to have to wait

Minions or nothing.

HR2 has become one of my favorite tires but trail tires are better left on the trail. DH casing or bust

 

[Soundguy]

I have HR2 upfront and minion on the back. It’s been a good combo for DH and trails. I hope they can still make the 4/20 opening...I was looking forward to it.

Any recommendations for a helmet? I was thinking about getting a Giro Switchblde or the new Bell super DH.. Both are Dh certified helmets with removable chin bars.
What say you?

Haven't heard much regarding the season ticket presale. It's usually out Jan/Feb. Here we are less than 4 weeks til the open and their website doesn't have any info. I just called and they said it should be posted "in a few weeks". I asked about an opening date and they couldn't give an answer. Anyone hear anything?

Think I saw something on Facebook about getting the discounted season pass will still be available, and they said fingers crossed opening day still looks possible

Went boarding yesterday and hard to believe they could be open in less than a month... it was a slushy mess... then again, that hard clay does drain pretty fast...

I snagged one of the rentals for sale last season and I'm looking to get a pass this year. Can't wait for them to open

NOT WITHOUT ME, YOUNG LADY!

 

[qclabrat]

We got way too much snow this month, still has 35 trails opened. Don't see anything earlier than a May opening.

 

[02camaro]

They still seem optimistic for a late April opening. Hopefully it's true.

 

[Soundguy]

This was Sunday... Red Bull drop wants some action.

Finally got around to picking up the 2018 season pass I bought back in like November.

Helmet is on the way.
Bell Super DH with removable chin bar.
DH certified.

Now it's time for some knee and elbow pads.

The troy Lee stuff is a solid choice.

Does it have to be hard plastic or just padding?

So how workable is riding Mountain Creek with a trail bike if I'm just looking to have some fun and not go crazy?

DH tires are more important than more travel . I've ridden there on 120mm 27.5 and as long as your careful and ride within your limits it will be fine and fun
