Twilight Zone Facelift -- Better Than Ever

Mother Nature is great and all but sometimes she just doesn't work fast enough. That's why we've taken matters into our own hands and have two excavators working non-stop to clear the trails of snow. And when the machines aren't busy clearing white stuff they are building jumps, jumps and more jumps. There are 16 trails open this week with a few new ones added each week.

New for this weekend: Shock Treatment and Techno Rock, the latter will be open top-to-bottom. Kamikaze no longer has a detour and brings you straight into Kamikaze X-Zone (think lower Richter), which has four new jumps including a huge step-up. Twilight Zone received a huge facelift this week to repair some winter damage, rebuild jumps/berms and add some bricks to armor the second wallride.

The trail pick of the week is Twilight Zone. The dirt is riding super
fast and every feature got a full makeover this week. There's a new
gallery from TZ that was shot this week over on the Bike Park Facebook

If you're currently in Mammoth, the Village Championships Downhill Race will be held today (7/21/11) on the mountain. The race is open to everyone! Registration starts at 4pm at the Adventure Center and the race starts at 5pm. And if you can't make it today, don't worry, the VC's are held every week through the rest of summer. And for the XC-minded, XC VC's are held every Tuesday in Shady Rest Park with registration at 4:30pm and racing starting at 5:30pm sharp. Both XC and DH VC races are laid-back and open to everyone so don't worry if you're not a pro racer.

To see a full list of open trails, head over to MyMammoth.

Mammoth Mud Run - August 27, 2011

Stomp through mud pits! Crawl on your hand and knees underneath obstacles! Haul your body up and over walls! And that's just a partial listing of what you'll have to do! The first annual Mammoth Mud Run tests your endurance and strength in a series of obstacles, mud pits and more over a span of 6 kilometers. It's fun. It's dirty. It will leave you breathless.
