It's been a long winter, but we're oh so close to riding season! We need your help to get the Driving Range ready. The only way we can open trails is to ensure every berm and feature have been raked and slapped! This vital spring maintenance ensures a long season of riding great trails. 

There are over 50 berms to be slapped into shape at the driving range. It takes one person nearly two hours to rake and slap a person-height berm. That means 100 volunteer hours (or 25 people for four hours) to complete our mission! 

To make this slapping mission fun, we've decided to turn it into a contest. SLAP-A-THON. 

Volunteers will form teams of two and compete to slap berms for prizes! 

RMT Trail bosses will be on the lookout for: 

⁃ The crispest berm (perfect edges, smooth transitions, and meticulous work) 
⁃ Fastest berm: (self timed, but must be approved "completed" by a trail boss)
⁃ Most berms completed by a team (self reported) 
⁃ biggest glow-up (who started with the worst berm and made it the best?)
⁃ Most slaps in 1 minute (we'll have step-counters to attach to shovels!

- The Spirit of Slap Award (who brings the most stoke!)

Be sure to take pictures of your berms before and after. 

If you've never raked and slapped before, we'll do a quick demonstration on best practices and techniques. All are welcome to come learn and slap! 

At the end of the day we'll have a cookout with great food, beverages, and prizes!
