UPLIFTS
Entry includes a Summit uplift pass for March 26th and 27th, which gives you access to both the Summit and the Midline drop-off. The best bet for quick course access is to get dropped at midline, ride across the hill, then you will be at the start of the Natty. Additional uplifts for Thursday 25th can be purchased separately.
