The Sign Was Not Joking! 😬

Opening Weekend at Bolton Valley Bike Park in Vermont. This is still one of my favorite places to ride. Being opening weekend, and after a series of rainstorms only expert and intermediate terrain was open which made for some spicy fun. Additionally a surprise thunderstorm in the area, shut the lift down and cut our day short.
