I hear from the in-laws that you guys are under a lot of snow still. We have had a lot of snow/thaw/snow/rain this winter which has been good for trail building. My buddy and I finally got out yesterday to ride the fruits of our labor 8) .
Here's some trail stoke to get you guys through the thaw: See you in the spring sometime.
Here are some of the new skinnies:
Keylow on "Route 42"

Looking good, I can't wait to get out in my backyard and start building again. Only got one good day of riding with the guys in on the new 180Deg. banked turn. Also need to finish the step-up-down. The snow is melting, but not fast enough.

You know, with a chainsaw and a little effort you could move all those logs out of the way and have a nice trail!

Don't have any of the new turn (you can see it in the distance under construction beyond the roller coaster).
Will have some riding pics and video sometime....

Nice work Brian.
Interesting developments happening in Uni's yard too.
Temperatures have been having that Spring is coming feel this week but just got back from a snowshoe and there is still a lot of snow in the woods. Weeks before we start seeing a significant amount of dirt at the Pinnacle and I have this feeling mud season will be in full swing for a while after that.
