1st time @Snow summit

[jaime]

Today was the day I decided to go and try myself @SS and I'm so glad I did !!!
I was late, got to the parking lot @2pm wifey and my 2 princess kissed me goodbye and headed to the lake.
Well the office where you purchase the lift ticket is right there, pay $29 for the rest of the day, and headed to the lift...
they're pretty helpful and got "my" bike on a chair and me in another and up we go !!
There are a ez-up tent with info and first aid, and a restaurant up there in case you are hungry.... got directions and suggestions since I told the guy it was my 1st time, he recommended me to try westridge to party wave and end with turtle.... and its pretty good singnaled so its hard to miss the trails..
1st run- Started kind of slow and very cautious, did everything nice, avoided the jumps(honestly I'm not prepared for jumps) and the flow is really nice, some rocks here and there, easy rolling on them, connected to turtle and from there to the bottom its pretty easy, I liked the S's (berms?) and belive me those can throw you at some speed !
2nd run- more confident, a little more speed, taking the berms more confindent and had more fun than the first time !
3rd run- more confident, lore speed and really enjoying the ride !!! did notice my legs getting tired.... but hey ! I'm having fun you know !
they closed @4pm had a blast, even though I didn't jump, did all 3 runs nice and the last 2 faster !
If any of you guys want to go and try it, belive me you WILL have and awesome time !
Went to meet my family at the lake and went to have an Ice cream, sat and chat @the park, and try to get my 2 princess tired so sleep time for them early tonight you know ! here are some pics of my day !

So you're still riding the Reign, eh? Is that your bike now? Perfect bike for Snow Summit, btw.

Thanks for the pics and the report. It's nice that you were able to go on a weekday afternoon rather than a weekend morning. The traffic on those 2 1/2 trails gets pretty hairy and intimidating if you are cautiously finding your way down. Or wait, did you say it was Sunday afternoon? I better re-read. Either way it looks like crowd wasn't a factor. And don't worry about those jumps, another couple of times and you'll be sending it as aggressively as I do!* The berms are a lot of fun, and other trail features such as the few rock sections, wall rides or wood step-downs spice it up a little too.

I also like that your first picture was of ice cream! But where's the picture of your little ones? Gotta throw a daddy pic in there too!

Thanks again for sharing your riding experience. :thumbup:
