Spider mountain – Burnet, TX. New riding venue scheduled to have lift access
Seths Pool | www.bikemojo.com
So, for those who havent heard – Team Trail Party announced yesterday that Spider Mountain in Burnet, TX (5 minutes north of RPR) will be a new riding venue, and the biggest detail here is that it is planned to have a chair lift. they will be working with the former manager/trail developer of angelfire bike park to make this a reality. parts of the lift have already been delivered to the venue.
the place has 350′ of elevation difference to work with. it will be tough to make downhill runs long enough to constitute a lift, but if done correctly, this could be something pretty cool.
discuss!
