Riding Dirty at Timberline Resort

Timberline is one of West Virginia's sweetest spots for skiing and snowboarding, primarily because of the tree runs between the slopes.  They are steep enough to make proper powder turns and get your annual supply of face shots. With cheap lift tickets and never any lift lines this place is a winter wonderland, but what is it like in the summer?

Wootten went exploring on a solo mission to discover some of the most difficult terrain he's ridden, on the same trails he rides on in the snow.  Here are a few photos and some videos of the terrain & magnificence he found as the ONLY mountain biker out there that weekend.

If you like extremely difficult terrain and riding by yourself, roll over to Timberline one weekend to get a taste of the flavor.  Wootten got on Cactus Tom, Gnarnia, Zinger, Doc's and Crawdad.  They are all relatively cleaned up and super dirty.  Bring your pads, full face and drooper post for maximum fun.  We recommend going out there if it is dry, you'll want the added traction on the super steep roots and rock pitches that are all over the trail system.  Be sure to to to the bar for their daily specials, MEATLOAF!
