HONEY BADGER GOT a REFRESH🦡

One of Duthie’s funnest roller trails got some TLC from our professional crew and talented volunteers, and it reopened this weekend!

Honey Badger endured a top-to-bottom refresh; 🪏Freshly shaped rollers 🪏Improved drainage 🪏Extra supportive berms

Don’t worry yall, we kept the character intact🫡
The same short, fast, flowy lap with little berms and rollers that make it a favorite for beginners, kiddos, MTB classes and anyone looking for a fun connector back to the clearing from Gravy Train etc…

Huge thanks to our builders and volunteers for putting in the work to keep Duthie running strong💚

Tag us in your photos and videos of this newly refreshed trail📸👀

Over a decade of trail building later... The Raging River trail system will be complete this Saturday as we celebrate the grand opening of the final two descent trails, Over & Out and Wild Waves 🥳

Here is a look back at how this trail system came to life over the years:

🌲 2009 (Land Protection): Washington DNR, King County, and Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust partner to acquire and protect 11,200 acres of forestland and critical habitat.

🚲 2012–2018 (Phase 1): Recreation planning and trail construction begin, officially opening foundational trails like Raging Ridge, Flow State, and Poppin’ Tops.

🛠️ 2018–2021 (Phase 2): Expansion continues with the addition of Canyon Creek Downhill, Physical Therapy, Raging Tiger, and Dash Connector.

🎉 2023–2026 (Phase 3): The final phase completes the full network, introducing Executive Decision, Reverence, Over & Out, and Wild Waves.

Luckily for me, I don’t experience the Sunday SCARIES cuz my schedule is never the same.

But the Bike Park SCARIES?😭 thats real.

I get a hot flash of anxiety every time I realize we’re down to just a few weeks of bike park riding. The countdown is on, and I’m not ready!

I’m clocking 25+ days of chairlifts, dusty laps, muddy laps, questionable decisions, big laughs, progression, and a whole lot of avoiding the words ‘one more run.’

So yeah… I’ve got the Bike Park Scaries..

🏁 Make every lap count! Closing weekend at Snoqualmie is Sept 27th. See ya this Friday and Sunday?!🫡

Thanks @zandroid for capturing my first ride back!🎥

You can’t buy a ticket to a night like this.

This week we walked riders through Trail E with Scott and Zander, the people who built it. Every hand-cut feature and machine-worked turn is a decision someone made on purpose, and standing in it while they explain why hits different than just riding through. The ride ended the way the good ones do, with nobody wanting to leave the parking lot as we cracked a cold one and grilled up some dinner.

Nights like this don’t show up on the public calendar. They’re for the people who show up for these trails, the riders who make the work possible.

That’s what membership is. It’s not a donation and it’s not just a discount card. It’s how you become part of Washington’s riding community, and it’s how you get the invite when we open the gate on something new.

Trail C opens alongside E this fall, one celebration with shuttles. Members hear first.

Ride Washington dirt? This is your community. Join it.

One more look back before we set our sights on Round 5. 🤘

Whitefish gave us everything… fast laps, changing conditions, sunshine, downpours, incredible racing, and a whole lot of memories. Thanks to everyone who made the trip to Big Sky Country and helped make another unforgettable NW Cup weekend.

Here’s our full weekend recap. 🎥: @zandroid

Now it’s time to turn the page.

Next up: Round 5 at Silver Mountain Bike Park. Registration is open, the countdown is on, and we can’t wait to see everyone back between the tape for another epic weekend of racing.

See you in Kellogg!

Race day in Whitefish did not disappoint🤘

The mountain served up near-perfect conditions all morning… until the skies opened up.

By the time the Cat 1 and Pro fields dropped in, the rain was absolutely dumping, turning an already challenging track into a true test of skill. But that’s racing. Mud, grit, big sends, and even bigger smiles.

Another unforgettable weekend at the NW Cup in Big Sky Country. Thanks to everyone who came out to race, cheer, and make memories. See you at the next one.

Montana kept us guessing today. 🌦️

Day two of the NW Cup brought everything from heavy downpours and thick fog to sunshine breaking through the clouds. Changing conditions made for an exciting day on the mountain, and the trails kept riders on their toes.

With practice wrapped up, everything is set for race day tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing who puts it all together.

Welcome to Big Sky Country 🤠

Day one of the NW Cup in Whitefish is officially in the books.

A little wet out there today with dramatic fog rolling through and tacky berms keeping things interesting. Huge mountain views and some of the best riders in the Northwest throwing down all day. Montana always delivers, and this weekend is off to an incredible start.
