Trail Update #2 - April 12, 2010
Last week was another busy week as the ParkLogic Crew was on the mountain dawn-til-dusk priming the trail network for another epic season! The crew returns this year bigger than ever and is keen on getting new and existing trails alike in top shape for opening day!
The all-NEW Outlaw trail is now complete and Diablo's own George Ryan took the first test runs early this evening. Outlaw was designed to be a cruiser providing another upper-mountain trail option that links towards Lower Exodus and the Tempest area dropping off directly on the Mountain Creek lake damn. The best way to describe Outlaw? Fast, flowy [flow-e] and unique! Natural, semi-machined trail wizardry at its finest!

In addition to completing Outlaw trail , we have been diligently revamping many areas and features that needed some extra love. Last fall was quite the 'rainy' season and some of your favorite lines got a little more tweaked than usual... We acknowledge this, but have no fear! We are scouring the trail network to make the appropriate adjustments and we are actually way ahead of schedule. Here is just a quick sample of what we have already revamped this past week;
New runout on RTN drop
As you can see, it has been a busy week and we are making some really good progress! Upcoming this week, the crew will be reworking sections of: Asylum, Twist, Domboo, among many others! Stay tuned right here, opening day just around the corner!

We are scouring the trail network to make the appropriate adjustments and we are actually way ahead of schedule. Here is just a quick sample of what we have already revamped this past week;
- NEW 'Tombstone' rock kicker added to the final stepdown (tempest) leading into Waterboy (20ft gap, high speed, scary... pics soon)
- RTN drop - entire runout reshaped and filled
- Final section of Exodus - refurb'd and rock armored to wage war against those happy skidders!
- Entrance to Lower Excoudos (that's for you hanson!) - dirt added to promote more speed to uphill bridge
- Entrance to Stalker - majorly reshaped, erosion issues corrected. No worries, the rest of this trail still has the rocky goodness you have come to love
- Roll-in before Asylum - rock armored, reshaped, ready to roll
- Waterboy - 50ft of the mid-section has been rock-armored and reshaped. Most of the tech-line still exists, the lower line has some fresh dirt and armoring for the timid
- As well as routine and preventative maintenance on Waterboy, Victory, Asylum, Bushwack, Exodus
