Year-End Message From Board President Bryce Broderick
 
 

Dear Mountain Bike the Tetons Members and Supporters,
 

Thank you for supporting Mountain Bike the Tetons! Our organization couldn’t have had such a positive impact on our community this past year without you.

 

As we roll into 2017, I am encouraged by all the positive relationships MBT has formed. Thanks to the hard work of our trail crew and volunteers, our beloved trails are riding better than ever. The momentum towards new trails and riding opportunities in the Teton Region is incredible.

 

The growth of our high school and middle school mountain bike team has exceeded all expectations. Seeing the stoke these kids experience on their bikes fuels our desire to create the best year-round mountain biking destinations in the world.

 

As the incoming board chair I am most excited to hear from you, our members, on how MBT can best serve the mountain bike community. I hope you share my excitement for our 2016 successes and all we have planned for 2017. Please take a look at our year-end report to see our completed projects and why we need your support into 2017.

 

Help us get even more done for Teton region mountain biking in 2017. Head to the Mountain Bike the Tetons website and make a gift. Our goal to raise an additional $20,000 by the year's end requires your support. Your gift will ensure MBT remains your advocate on all things Mountain Biking in the Teton region.

 

Wishing you the happiest of holidays,


Bryce Broderick
MBT Board President
 

P.S.

None of our successes would be possible without our determined Executive Director, Amanda Carey. Give her a high five or a pat on the back the next time you see her and know that your gift will help ensure that MBT can pay our staff the salaries they deserve.
