i street is awesome. dont know how it would be this time of year but i rode it like twice a week in the summer. go to the top of i street, when it ends go left and follow the street around until you see a mo church and turn left like a house after that into a parking lot. follow the water tank around on your bike and youll pop right into it. heres a google map of the parking lot because its hard to find.

yeah that bike will do great there. I usually ride a hard tail dj bike with 4 inches of travel there, but a lot of kids are on full suspension rigs there and ive taken my kona stinky and had tons of fun. if youre new to djing head all the way down to the bottom and theres some smaller jumps. hit me up when ski season ends im there all the time.

word let me know. and if its muddy you probably shouldnt ride because it will tear up the jumps and fixing jumps sucks for everyone who rides there.

sooooo sick. if you're looking for smaller jumps though, the PC dirt jumps arent gigantic. But they, for sure, are snow covered. I rode my stab at I street after hitting up bobsled, but my coiler worked muuuch better the next time i was there. I would probably just tighten up the shock and put a little more air in the fork, and you'd be fine. have fun if its not too muddy lol :D

pretty close to i street up in the aves.
park here
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Salt+Lake+City,+Utah+84108&ll=40.791189,-111.863072&spn=0.001505,0.002411&t=h&z=19

and hike up a ways. that trail tends to have some drainage issues so its best to stay away from it till its really dry. if youre really itching to ride there is a beginner dj/freeride park in lehi that might dry out faster but its pretty far away from the slc area for just a beginner park.
