Most unreal weather I have ever seen at snowshoe since I been going there since 2004. Sunny for three days straight! Rained only like 5 minutes Saturday night but the dirt was so dry already it absorbed it like a wet sponge and the trails were back to being dusty 30 minutes after the lifts started up. Anyone else there this past weekend? _________________ I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

I went to one National race there several years ago that was dry. I heard all the other trials are good too. What did you think of the place?

Were you at the 2004 national??? _________________ I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

The first day or two of practice was dry, dusty, fun and fast then it went to shit. I remember riding past Cam Zink near the bottom, his v-10 was so packed with mud he couldn't even ride it! I was there in 2002, it was hot and dry the entire week of nationals, that was some good shit _________________ Ride a road bike 26" wheels are for gays Posted: Wed Jul 30, 2008 2:05 pm Taz Site Admin   Joined: Sep 6, 2002 Posts: 1008169 Location: Door step of insanity ViciousDHer wrote: I was....dry all month ..............until 10 min before the first practice. that mud SUCKS.
