UTE CUP DATES SET
The Rocky Mountain Trials Association has announced the date for the 2018 Ute
Cup Trial. The two-day event will take place on August 18-19 on the Rainbow Trail
near Salida, Colorado. Entries are $50 per day.
The Ute Cup is known for its unpredictable alpine weather, with epic trails typi-
cally reaching above the tree line at 11,000 to 12,000. As usual, sections do not
include splits, with all riders competing on the same line. The difficulty may be
described as Intermediate to Advanced.
The 2017 winner was Ryan Young.
This year’s Trials Marshalls will be Scott Jordan and Paul Smith.
Riders can compete as individuals and on teams.
