2012 Crystal Mountain Freeride Trails

[Creamy]

BikeLab TC is currently building Freeride Lift access trails for Crystal Mountain
The rumors are true!
Trails are slated to be open 2012, as well as, a new Loki lift.
Currently we are working on three runs, two DH/Freeride specific runs
as well as a Enduro style run. There will be more built in 2012 as well.
For 2012 Crystal will also be offering Full-Sus rentals.
Will keep everyone updated as we have more info

2012 is going to be a great year for freeride in Northern Michigan!

Sounds like I'm going to have a perfect weekend. Golf in the early morning, ride the afternoon and drink the evening away. Wash and repeat.....

This will be awesome. Ludington is not that far and my riding buddy has a cabin about 5 miles away. Its shaping up to be a fun summer

I'm excited to see what's happening out there, but in a chat with the activities people I learned they're going to charge $8 PER RIDE . Seriously?????

Nothing like getting screwed all year long by my home mountain.

Nice work Chris!

Great work Chris!

That's a lot better, but not what I was told when I renewed my season pass since they were including 2 rides (not 2 day passes) with the unlimited plus pass. I'm going to be ticked if it was actually supposed to be 2 days instead because I would have gotten the plus pass for that. As usual, no one there ever knows anything, grrrrr.

Chris, what sort of schedule are they/you planning to run the lifts?

[Creamy]

7 days a week, weather permitting
Will post exact times soon!

I'm not ready for the dh race. Need to get familiar with long travel bike first.

I didn't say you had to race, but you'll meet a ton of cool DH guys at Boyne Highlands this weekend.
