The weather was fabulous!!! Blue skies, high 70's. The ski area closes fourth of July, so I'm sure the top of the mountain will not be open for bikes. I suppose some of the other lifts will be operating. If you meet at the main lodge you can buy your pass at the adventure center and start riding from there. We were riding the north/east side of the mountain. Too bad for us there were no signs up until the last day so we needed to guess where we were.

Have no fear it is not all gnarly down-hill stuff. I did not crash once. (Beginner's luck-- I crashed this morning.) Check out the interactive map. You can ride Paper route all the way over to the other side, loop back, and head down Big Ring to warming hut II (a little technical and one heart-in-throat cliff next to you) or cut over to DownTown all the way to the new Village shopping center for lunch/ Starbucks. DownTown is a blast/ easy singletrack. If you want to stay on the mountain take Uptown back, it is an easy climb. Or you can ride the road. But if you buy the full pass there's the shuttle.
Here is the map link: Use the interactive map and click on the blue and green trails to start.

Have a blast!!!
