  1. Glad to hear Vail opened your bike park at CB. Unfortunately Vail decided against opening the bike park here at Stevens Pass, WA this year and sadly rumor has it that it will go away. With it being the only lift served bike park in Washington and the border to Whistler still closed Bellingham will probably see a lot more riders this year. Hopefully this isn’t a sign of what Vail plans for other bike parks.
