The 4 jump in Roller coaster (lower section) was repaired today and that concludes the trail repairs after this “special” winter with all the drain pipes, freezing up with ice creating a lot of trouble for us.
Parking an 13,5 ton excavator on the top of a jump, is a good reminder why everything takes so much time with this trail…
Everything in it is huge!

Buldre trail
With water digging out the whole trail from the road and down to the steep section, it took some elbow grease to get the trail back into shape.
Getting a bit creative we put in a mini-double, next to the hip. The double roller before the got a bit bigger as well…

Moe`town is ready!
Gjørid is driving out the last branches after cleaning up the mid-section of Moe`town.
Saturday we got done with the excavator, and now we just need some sunny days to make it dry up.

Bikewash
Axel is making new platforms at the bike wash making it easier to clean the bikes after a day of shredding.
We have also been doing some change to the pipe work, making sure we get better and more even water pressure this year.

A "litte bit" of trail work before the opening...
The snow melting after winter was not treating our trails so well...
Moe`town got it big time and the tranny on the 4 jump in Roller Coaster got washed out. In some sections it is obvious that the winter will not give up without a fight. We already started shoveling out the last snow and on the 18th of may we will start working on the trail with the excavators. We open 4th of june
