Good plan.
Sometimes in the summer I cover downhill bike races at my ski area. Some of the trails people bike down are steep enough that I have trouble getting enough traction with hiking boots to keep from sliding.
And, yeah, some of the wrecks have been ugly. I’ve never covered a fatality, but open leg fractures and one crushed C4 (the dude was actually walking a year later. Amazingly supporting girlfriend, hope they’re still together.)
On the other hand, the less insane trails are a great way to cruise the mountains in summer. Lots cheaper than horses.
