Motocross Invades Swain Ski Slopes
Swain, New York - Swain Resort is all set to host an inaugural motocross event on its pristine ski slopes. The popular winter ski retreat has been transformed into a motocross playground. Swain Mountain Motocross spans the width of several ski slopes and offers some of the most unique terrain, views, and scenery of any track found on the east coast. On Track Creations' Jesse Milley was commissioned to carve the beautiful ski resort into a full blown national caliber motocross track. Milley added, "This was one of the most unique and beautiful landscapes to work with and everything came together perfectly."
The track is an optimal one mile in length and can be seen from the lodge and viewing area below. The ski lift will also be in operation, taking spectators over the track and up the mountain to an upper viewing area offering spectacular views of the track and surrounding areas. The Shawmut Pub and Slopeside Bar & Grill will also open their doors to welcome racers and their families offering up live music and great food at each event.
The first event kicks off August 7th and features an appetizing $3,000 pro purse! Amateurs and pros alike will love this brand new feature-packed facility and should offer up something for all skill levels. Each event will feature 28 classes for riders ages 4 and up! Race fees are $20 & $25 per rider based on bike size. Spectator fees arejust $10 per person. Gates open on Friday and stay open from 2pm till 11pm before each event. Gates open at 7am on race days. Additional events are scheduled for September 11th & October 2nd!
