There is a road but its usually closed. Its easier to walk up the course, but watch for downhillers coming down

The gate's usually locked, though you might be okay on a weekday if there's logging go on up there. Personally, I wouldn't want to have my car or truck stuck behind a locked gate at 4pm though.

What you need is someone who has a key. Unfortunately, that someone is not me and the people I know who have them don't give them out. To anyone.

Ask around though, you might get lucky. As wilkez said, it's not too bad walking up, and you can do it two or three times before the hike gets old. And you can session stuff on the way down if you're practising for the race (like the jumps and a couple of the corners....)

How far up is the gate? Right at the bottom of the logging road?

I thought the course was alright, but I'd way rather ride neds or something.

Gate is locked. No snow. No shuttles unless you know the guys with Keys, and they frown on shuttles there. Hike up, its easy.

Was there two weeks ago. Its kinda beat, but still fun. Need buffing before the race.
