Alta-Snowbird Sunday E-ride

The plan is to do a big ride, looping around Alta, hitting Devil's castle to connect and decent thru snake pit and traverse into Snowbird and connecting with the big mountain trail. Now this route (Alta/bird) it's a whole ride in itself, so once we get back to Snowbird you can decide if you want to keep going towards the top of the big mountain trail (top of the tram) or you can just finish the ride there at the bird.

Snowbird big mountain trail has to be one of the most dwelling climbs in the area...of course the pedal assist will make things easier, but make no mistake about it, the big mountain trail is rated "black" for a reason, technical rocky and steep climbing sections with nerve wracking exposure (only few sections) will challenge most of us, but once we reach the top by the tram area we will be regarded with spectacular views and a 8 miles DH that is just superb.

Meeting is at 8:00 am--rolling at 8:10 sharp. We'll meet by the Snowbird Center parking lot (see GPS coordinate and maps for location.
