Whether you’re new to Washington or a seasoned mountain biker who’s weathered countless rainy rides, you've probably wondered as you set off with windshield wipers on high, “Is it too wet to ride?” 

Two new downhill trails at The Summit at Snoqualmie debuted this summer, and we’re here with the inside scoop from our Trail Builders. The bike park just wrapped up another great summer season, and we're stoked on the trail building and maintenance we’ve collaborated on. 

The Trek at Tehaleh MTB trails are being assessed for features that can be adjusted to improve accessibility for adaptive riders.

Each year, the Methow Chapter of Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance takes on the responsibility of opening up many of the summer trails here in the Methow. We start methodically at Sun Mountain, and then turn our attention to other beloved trails in the Tripod area and beyond.  For such a small organization, we cleared over 50 miles of singletrack this year alone! While we could say that we are all in this endeavor for the sweet jumps, flowy berms and steep lines, that's not why we're here. Mountain biking and summer trail use, to many of us, is a deeply felt and passion filled endeavor. Trails are what we seek when we want to explore. Trails are places we go with our friends to connect and recharge. They are also places we go for solace and reflection.  In many respects, the summer trail system that we share here in the Methow forms the backbone of a large, inclusive and supportive community. As always, it is an honor to help support this trail system that means so much to so many people.
