So I guess my gopro battery died and i didn't have it going for opening day at mtn creek so there's not many pics. I'll try and get some from my buddy who brought out his DSLR. Conditions were varied, with 5 inches of rain on weds/thurs portions were tacky and super fast as the day moved on and the newly built trails packed in, but other sections got blown out. Standing water made it impossible to clear the final jump on upper dominion. Salvation was prime with fresh lips and a rebuilt step down - no need to touch the brakes the whole way down on this now. Lower breakout was totally rebuilt, but pretty destroyed due to standing water.
The natural trails are in kinda rough shape, many of them look like they haven't been blown clear of leaves and several were very wet due to the rain
The lower mountain was riding real well in general. Alpine was the run of the day(just below the lift and pictured above was nearly perfect with no brake jack to speak of (at the start of the day at least) and some of the lower berms rebuilt braking was limited. Indycross, which im usually not a fan of was also riding real well.
Overall it was awesome to be riding lifts at the creek again, About 400 people showed up, but there was never a line. If you're near here, you owe it to yourself to get out.

I wear crocs for the style, not the comfort.
