UROC Trail Report June 12th:
Our weather for the weekend is looking a little more stable finally and that means we can officially open another new section of trail at Pass Powderkeg!
Many of you have noticed that there are new sections of trail popping up all over the mountain. The wet dirt has made for some ideal building conditions for our contractors.
The new trail is rated blue difficulty and can be found just to the left of the entrance to Blairmore Witch Project. It chooses a more approachable slope angle, but does still have some great technical challenges as it makes its way down the mountain. It is more challenging than Electric Monkey, but not as demanding as Spare Change. We have not finalized a name yet for this new blue, but we will have one soon. The last section is closed because there is still one very muddy section that has not fully dried.
The trail crew has been out making small but meaningful improvements to the trails in York Creek, filling divots made by overturned root balls, clearing weeds and shaping the lips of jumps. They also changed the railing on the curved bridge at the bottom of Buck50, making it ride considerably better.
Alpenland is taking over the lodge at Pass Powderkeg this summer and keeping the drinks cool and the vibes high. They are looking for some summer staff to help make that possible. If you are looking for a summer job, that would be a great place to be!
There are no events that will be affecting the trails this weekend. Tag us in your photos and stories. We love to see everyone out enjoying the trails.
