"Riders Choice" Nick along with Willy Bartlett, Drew Mahan and others have been breaking there backs to make sure that Silver Mountain Bike Park is in great shape all year long. They were improving existing trails by re-shaping, adding features, manicuring or whatever was needed and also adding many new trails from the peak of the mountain all the way down to the bottom, which I might add is in the realm of 3,000 vertical feet. So if your looking for a new bike park for some flow, (come on up) for some jumps or drops, (come on up) for some World Cup DH stuff, (come on up.) To put it simply SMBP has it all!

P.S. It is very family friendly too with easier trails and go arounds on most big ticket items. This was my first season racing up there and I and all the other racers and riders are already looking forward to next season.

Many memories were had and shared, many friendships were made, grew and forged over a season of competition so to put it simply I am going to miss my MTB family that was created this summer!!! Thanks for everything SMBP see ya in 2015!!!
