LOL, wishful thinking, todd. plus what do you mind? you're already a owner and soaking up the pricing in cali. then again the more money you make and the more money houses cost kind of counter acts itself in benefits to buying a better home.

There is a good reason that Glamais is called "The Sand Toy Capital of the World" !
Remember that Olds Hill does not represent the good riding at Glamis....it is simply an easy place to find and to get to....so many people hang out there. It's a social spot at Glamis....so is Vendor's Row.
The good riding is in the huge bowls and on the big walls. And those are endless. If you like to Dune Ride, you can't beat Glamis. Nowhere else in the US comes close.
If you want to race a big Comp Hill then there are many choices to argue over, but Olds is not one of them.

Us high elevation guys (4500 feet and up) have lots to look forward to coming down to Glasmis / Dumont elevations, where you low landers have to suffer to come to our heights. I cannot wait to see what the drop inelevation does. I will be at Olds next week, and I go to Choke alot, so I will have a good comparison after that.
I'll be anxiously awaiting your comparison. We are considering a trip to Glamis over spring break, as our last-year Little Sahara idea was snowed out.

Oh yeah, Devils dune is even steeper than Choke cherry, but not sure if it is taller or not?
Pro Rider
Devil's dune is about 15 feet taller in actual vertical rise according to my GPS.

How tall is it??? Sand Mtn Utah is 580 vertical ft according to Wyoduners GPS when he was here last year.. The Valley side is about 1200ft long..
Pro Rider
Drum roll please............................................ ......................
Choke Cherry hill has a vertical rise of 285 feet.
Devil's Dune is 300.
Now remember, this is VERTICAL RISE, not the distance you actually travel from bottom to top. I am taking a laser rangefinder with me this year and will get those numbers.

Oh sure, now you want to know everything! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
I didn't gps those other ones. When I'm there with the rangefinder though I'm taking a note pad and doing the whole thang.

Thanks again for the info. This is good stuff!!
If Devils dune is 300 ft, I'm guessing Thunder mountain is somewhere's close to 400???
I am pretty sure it is taller, but I know for a fact that it isn't near as steep!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
