2012 Crystal Mountain Freeride Trails

Postby Creamy » September 26th, 2011, 1:23 pm

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
Also for more info sign up for our FB users group listed below
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 :shock: . Seriously?????

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

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.

According to the website http://www.crystalmountain.com/summer/michigan-mountain-bike-trails New technical downhill trails will open on June 9th. Is that info outdated? Because I was going to check it out this coming Sat and got my long travel ready.

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.
