CURRENT TRAIL CONDITIONS

Thursday, June 4, 2026

 

Maiden Voyage is now open and ready to race on Thursday for the Spring Training Race Series.

The trail crew is hard at work on Lower Happy Hour, bringing you another blue freeride option packed with berms, flow, and plenty of opportunities to carry speed down the mountain.

They’re also putting in time on the Lower Sherwood dirt jump lines, cleaning things up and getting them dialed for the season ahead.

A lot of work happens behind the scenes to keep the trails riding their best. If you see the crew out on the mountain, give them a wave and remember to respect any trail closures while the work is underway. Fresh dirt is on the way. Stay tuned for opening updates.
