Wow, a 2nd rainy day in a week. I guess that means that we’re heading to Silverstar.
Where the trails were epic, thanks to Mother Nature, the Silverstar Trail Crew, and their ‘Trailboni.’

Judy-Lynn and Chris – Day 3
Last day of Silverstar, and look who shows up?
Thanks to Judy-Lynn for the pic. Since she couldn’t ride, she hiked to the top of the mountain, just because she could. Now THAT’S what I call team spirit.
Some minor mechanical problems resulted in a few minutes of downtime at the end of the day, but the mountain staff was rad enough to give us a bonus hour of riding time to end the season. How do you all feel about that?
Yup, thought so. Here’s the very last crew of the year at the top of the hill. I was sort of sore after getting trashed by Lorraine (another former DH superstar chicka from around here), so I went with the rest of the old boys to an off piste trail.
There you go, the boys ending the year with a run on Stubbys
Dynomite – Day 6
Last call gentlemen. Should we hit the bike park at Silverstar?
No Joe, you don’t actually NEED a rear derailleur here.
Absolute hammer fest of a day today. We got there early, and rode hard. The trail crew has worked their asses off this spring and it shows. We cranked out 14 runs today.
That’s 23 800 vertical feet of shredness.
Jim, who was the most concerned about getting full value for the riding, actually had to pack it in a bit early. That was a HUGE week of riding with some highly motivated boys.
OK, so we meet back here next year…one, two, three, BREAK!
One random shot of some longboarders on the road down from the resort, and this one is a wrap.
