Rode the trails in a downpour yesterday and had a blast! Haven’t done any biking at mount snow in a few years, and you guys have definitely stepped it up a notch. I especially enjoyed trail 10. Couldn’t wait to ride it ever since stumbling upon that bridge in the lower OMT woods on skis last winter. I will be back on a drier day!

Came here to see if anything was going on with Mount Snow’s biking program and it’s nice to see something happening. I used to ride here a loooong time ago, but a trip to Bromont, Highland, Mountain Creek, or even Burke shows how much the sport has evolved, and the serious level of commitment required to draw the riders in. It’s not enough to just weed-whack a trail down the blue and green ski runs anymore. I really hope Mount Snow remains focused and can rise to the level of the mountains that sprung up in the last decade.

Best of luck.

Trail 7 will be on the new map. The trail is completed from the top of lift 9 to the top of lift 8. We are working hard to finish the trail to the bottom of the hill over the next month.

I’ve been riding Mt. Snow since the first year they offered lift access Mountain Biking. (I’m old) I fell in love with the sport on my first run and have been involved with the sport ever since. I think because of strict regulations on what trails could be built on that land and perhaps coupled with a seemingly lack luster enthusiasm from Mt Snow management to recognize the opportunity they had, it always seemed that it could have been better. For the exception of all the awesome race courses built over the years Mt. Snow was a just an OK place to ride, not well maintained and by no means lived up to calling themselves “The Mountain Bike Capitol Of The East”.

O boy have things changed!

It looks like Brandon, Justin and the crew has stayed true to their word. “We’ve gotten the approval nod from management to do this thigh right and WILL make a mountain bike destination out of this place once again” I was told last season.

After seeing first hand all of the much needed trail improvements last season along with a refocused attitude towards the great sport of Downhill Mountain Biking, I read this blog and I’m once again encouraged to see the continued forward momentum that Mt. Snow has committed to. New Bikes, New trails and a new beginning. Last year was great, this year will be awesome.

I guess one could argue that the sport itself has also evolved and that played a big part in all of this but I happen to know it takes committed team of people who love the sport and have the talent source out new equipment and trail building techniques to make the improvements that Mt. Snow has made possible.

See you on OPP, Mike from Yorktown Heights NY. Keep in pinned!

The pre-bike season prep works sounds great. Really looking forward to introducing some family members to the beginner downhill trail. When will Trail 7 be reflected on the trail maps?
