The Stevens Pass Bike Park will open for the public on October 1st & 2nd, 2011! Mark your calenders and tune up your bikes because it is almost time to get in on the ground floor of Washington's first lift-accessed bike park.
Come join us for an epic weekend of riding on the newest trails in the state. Keep in mind this is a soft opening of the park: the trails are young, there is still construction underway, and it's been dry so the trails are bit dusty. Cross "Attend the historic opening of the Stevens Pass Bike Park" off your bucket list with us on October 1st & 2nd.
OPERATIONS SCHEDULE & DETAILS: We will be open from 10am-4pm Saturday and Sunday, October 1st-2nd. Ticket pricing: $20 per day (tax included!) There will be no retail or rental operations and limited food service (hamburgers, bottled beverages, etc.)
Be sure to slap some high fives and save the date.
Thanks to DIA and everyone who has helped make this dream a reality!
Duthie is SO sick! I had never heard of it until I went out west and met some local guys who took me there. Not saying its any sort of secret, but there aren't many videos from Duthie and it's not talked about like Colonnade or Whistler. If you're reading this, and going to be near Seattle... go to Duthie Hill... that place is AMAZING!
Ditto! My friends and I live out in the Northgate/Seattle area, but every week, we make a trek out there and spend about 3 hours shredding. Wish it was closer, but definitely worth the drive!
Yeah, Duthie does get crowded at time, especially on the weekends and can get frustrating, especially the times I was going on Ryan's Eternal and during the middle of the run, I lost all my speed because a father was riding through really slow following his 5-7 year olds on their small bikes... *sigh* Duthie's over on the Eastside in Issaquah, WA - so far, the best place to ride I think, but I'm definitely looking forward to the progression of Stevens Pass! =)
Dear Sir/Maddam riding with the blue and black flame combo shirt
I'm not sure what you were thinking this morning when you woke up, but flaming shirts and pants or shorts that look like you belong in the 80's . . . .
To answer a few questions. It is a black single track line, far better and more difficult than Ryan's No pedaling required, a few jumps here and there but just a good old downhill trail similar to what you would find in Port ANgeles or Tokul. The intermediate line is wide and groomed, roll 'em or jump 'em it is your choice.
Slingshot Wookie (singletrack) is pretty much complete and is about a 3 minute ride depending on your skill level.
Rock Crusher (intermediate flow) is or rather was much shorter and involves a bit of fire road to make it to the lift again. They did have alot more trail that was blocked, so if they get a crucial bridge built, this trail will be more than twice as long as it was last weekend. So last weekend it was about a 90 second ride, with the potential for a 3 minute ride this coming weekend, again depending on your skill.
Takes about 90 minutes to get there from Lynnwood.
That's me on the right in the first picture. Good Times! Thanks SPBP!
Can't wait for this to open! A little behind schedual, but it's going to be an awesome birthday present, gf bought a hotel for the weekend as part of my birthday present... TIME TO SESH, then have a "few" beers after before day two!
Hey I'm looking for riding buddy too. Also dont have car but can get to Duthie. Sad to miss the opening but def will gO as frequently as possible in the spring.
Snow Summt needs to get their act together and build some real trails lol, there's sooo much potential for that mountain but the owner is an idiot.....someday
Good question! Hopefully someone from Stevens can give us the full low down. Looks like they green and blue at least open now but I'm not 100% sure about that
Ive only heard of blue and black trails that they built. The black looked like ryans flow from a helmet cam I saw. Meaning it looks like a blue trail right now. I'm so dummed that I'll miss it.
This Fall is just the soft opening. We just started building this summer and trying to get open for a few days to let people ride becasue they have been waiting so long.
You mean "down" and now I'm gonna have to! Bud and I were talking about it, might push it a bit more now... That would be cool! They said minimal food services...that mean beers or no beers? We gonna have to have a beer!
Ah man! Well I'm not sure what's up yet, I can't afford to get there by myself and Sunday would be the only day I could go... everyone is saving their darn nickles for the closing weekend at Whistler. Whistler's friggin beat, don't really wanna go any more this year. Joel, that's also something to keep in mind, should you happen to have a less than phenomenal turn-out... sounds like a LOT of people are also saving for a last Whistler trip. If you can get the chance to open it for another weekend after Whistler shuts down, i think you might have even better luck? I dunno..., But if I DONT find a way to make it, GOOD LUCK! Can't wait to get there!
What do you know? A quick glance at your profile shows that not only does your English, grammer, and all around ability to communicate with the human population suck; the only thing you don't suck at is selling your bikes. Keep your negative attitude out of here, we don't need it. Positive thinking got this idea off the ground, and it will only push it further. Let these people enjoy the hard work put in so far, there's plenty more on the way. Keep digging guys, looks great!
