Hey PingaMan,
We drove up Thursday to Jamaica,VT (3.5hrs) and stayed at a friends house for free
Friday AM, we drove to Killington (1hr approx) and rode there for free because we know someone who works there
Friday night we drove (1hr approx) to and camped (pop up camper) in Little River State Park Campground - Waterbury, VT for $16
Saturday we rode in Waterbury. That was free on public land
Saturday night we drove to East Burke (1.5hrs approx) and camped (pop up camper)for $25
Sunday we rode Kindom Trails all day (30 miles) for $6
when we weren't riding, driving or camping, we were hanging with friends at restaurants and brew pubs!

Hey, if your interested in ridding real VT trails and staying at a great B&B in the beautiful Mad River Valley, look me up. The wife & I just bought the Wilder Farm Inn in Waitsfield and the riding around here is amazing just like smerusi said. Tons of trails right in the Valley & Waterbury is only 10 min away. Check out our site www.wilderfarminn.com It's costs more then camping but the food is much better & the beds are comfy and the inn is very nice. Just thought you might like an option. Luke

I rode Stowe trails on Saturday, with a local dude, and looked for real estate on Sunday. 
Stowe was frickin awesome. Very flowy. But I heard the trails in Waterbury are sweet, and as good or better than Stowe.
I found a condo in Waterbury that is perfect. Now I just have to wait until something comes on the market.

Hey Mergs!
I wanted to to get to Mt. Snow, but I just kept going north nowing I wanted to ride Kingdom Trails! If I had to do it over again, I would have rather riden Mt. Snow and not Killington.
If you havent already seen them, check these pictures of Waterbury out on the Vermont Forum:

Hey dude...smerusi said:
Wow, those are some sweet azz trails... terrain, of course, looks very similar to what I rode at Stowe. Did you ride that stick bridge?
Looks a tad shaky I have ridden Mt. Snow, its good. But I think for lift serviced riding I think Diablo still beats it. I have not ridden Killington but I have heard both good and bad (usually it depends on if I am talking to a Diablo rider or not).
I might make it up in Sep again, or Oct. After that... its snowboard season, and then I'll def be up there!
I'll try to post here if I head up. I know a rider in Stowe and might have a contact for the Waterbury trails as well. Would be fun to link up with Luke and ride his trails too. I actually drove right past his BandB on Sat afternoon, about 4-5pm, but at the time I didn't realize it.
Anyway, if I get a call from a realtor, I may be up there real fast.

indeed, my man. let's get some ride time in over the winter. i'll do quick hits on hunter midweek when sudden pow days occur, and i tend to hit VT every other weekend or so.phatbiker said:
chris with the blur and my pal marc are both riding on seperate teams. i may stop by and poach a loop or two with them. maybe wrench a little. problem is i have a wedding to attend on sat night, so this is why i am not in it this year. if i stop in, i will def. find team sandbag for sure, and say hello.
next year i'll prolly be in, as a solo
its raining... and i brought my bike to work today.
I did not ride that bridge (i am not that brave), but my buddy did. It was pretty stable. Well built.mergs said:Hey dude...

i am gonna try and meet up with gdr on 5:30 at skyline tonight, but the rain is looking threatening again. it came down hard about 1 hr ago, but it likely to return.phatbiker said:
sorry phat, can't make the am ride on sun. i won't be back in town til mid morning at the earliest.
i'll mention the mooch ride to gdr tonight, he'd likely want to join you. suns are usually good ride days for him.
