Welcome to summer in the big, blue sky. Where hiking-boot-mornings turn to bikini-afternoons, fishing flies are chosen as wisely as swinging clubs, and the thirst for gravity and velocity never goes unquenched. Where a perfectly banked downhill mountain bike line is worshiped as much as a perfectly seared scallop. And where every day, without a doubt, is an invitation for more adventure, and more sticky memories. Welcome to summer on The Mountain.
