does the shed run 365days? i was told that it can snow up there on that hill. would anyone be interested in doing a weekend trip to Windrock, Tennessee? i heard they run 365 days.

another possibility is Bootleg Canyon, but they would involve flying to Vegas ;)

Anyone interested we can do a trip there in the spring. Probably May. It's far though, 7hrs. Also you need to provide your own shuttle. But the trails are pretty good, and probably even better now, as I haven't been there in over a year. You need skills on the level of riding the steep trails at the Shed to ride there.

I could do a group of about 6 and we could stay at my place (you could also do some touristy stuff there as well)

Unless it's touristy stuff that requires a full-face helmet and armor, I ain't interested. :cool:

You mean you aren't into outlet malls, country music shows and Dolly Parton?

Seriously there is some decent restaurants there and other stuff we could do in the evening after riding.

are the trails there uniformly advanced? or are there some easier ones there? I can't say that i'm an expert DH rider...as i find Shed terrain still very challenging.

Well I can say it's all pretty advanced, but nothing harder than you'd find at the 'Shed.
