** EVENT UPDATE ** THIS SATURDAY **

Continued warm weather and precipitation in the forecast unfortunately makes for less than ideal fatbiking conditions, but the spring skiing is just about to take off! We’re offering FREE SKI RENTALS this Saturday at a Rikert for those looking to add to a fun day! Bike route will likely be limited to the ski trails, but only time will tell.

We’ll be pumping the music, firing up the grill and hitting jumps all day long. Choose your mode of fun and join us for a spring skiing celebration.
