Another great change at Big Mountain (whoops! \u00c2\u00a0Whitefish Mountain Resort…) is the summer activities. The Zipline that the GrandPop went on is one of them. \u00c2\u00a0Here are a couple more:<\/p>\n

This is called “Strider”. \u00c2\u00a0It is a motocross course…for little kids. \u00c2\u00a0They ride bikes without pedals (see the closeup photo) and just push around the course. \u00c2\u00a0The little girl in the closeup had been on the course for an hour or so when I got there. \u00c2\u00a0She was still going strong when I left an hour later!<\/p>\n

(A cellphone panorama! \u00c2\u00a0Click on it a couple times to enlarge it; BACK to return here.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can see some of the push bike, or Strider, better here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another change is there is a “Summer Tubing” waterslide for inner tubes. \u00c2\u00a0You can see it at the top of this photo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This shows it a bit better, with two kids who didn’t make it all the way down…the really neat part I didn’t get a photo of. \u00c2\u00a0The handrail you see in this photo isn’t a walkway to the top (the course is about 200 feet long? and a total rise of maybe 12-15 feet): it is a MOVING walkway to the top! \u00c2\u00a0Just like the moving walkways in big airports. \u00c2\u00a0Only this one comes apart at the end of the summer inner tubing season.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a photo of the whole thing (without riders…it did have quite a few, just not when I got a photo of it!).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Across the Strider track is another Zipline related activity. \u00c2\u00a0There is an obstacle course in the trees!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It features ziplines, rope climbs and monkey bridges, and probably more!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It looks like a lot of fun to me!<\/p>\n
