Mt Washington BC Cup DH

I see they're back to running it on the old course this year. Shame, I like the 2011 course with the fast lift, and 4X bottom section :-/ Anyone else prefer the 2011 track or is it just me? It'll still be a great event though, always fun on that track, nothing quite beats going flat out into the rock gardens

I liked last year course, but I must say when I did my first lap down it, i thought the 2010 course was better. After a few practice laps, I really grew to like it.....so maybe the same will happen this year?

I will miss the treed section just above the 4x course.....that section was money.

I like how physical and rough the old course has always been, so I'm glad we're back on the full Monster Mile!
