Learn to Ride mountain bike package

Post by RustyK »

Here at Killington, we love our Season Pass holders! :lol: We also love our newly expanded Bike Park, and we want you to love it too. As a special bonus, we’re offering all 16-17 and 17-8 Killington and Pico winter Season Pass holders a Learn to Ride Mountain Bike Package for only $29.

Our Learn to Ride Packages include everything you need to get out in the Bike Park and ride, including:
• 2 hour lesson with a mountain bike instructor
• Full-day bike and protective gear rental
• Full-day Snowshed lift and trail access
It's a perfect way for Bike Park first-timers to get started – covering everything from bike handling to reading the terrain. And don't worry, your instructor will make sure your're comfortable on the bike before bringing you up the Snowshed Express Quad for your first run down Easy Street.

This package is a $125 value, and is available Monday through Friday for the rest of the season (excluding September 4 and October 9). Offer valid for the pass holder only, sorry, no friends and family at this rate.

All you have to do is visit the Snowshed Sales Center and mention this email, or call Central Reservations at 1-800-621-6867 to reserve your spot.

We hope you’ll take advantage of this offer, and learn to love riding Killington Bike Park just as much as you love skiing at Killington in the winter.
Where is Happy Hour ?

I got that email too but won't be able to take advantage of it. Very busy summer down here and the possible weekends we might be up in the fall you cannot use it.

But no.

Well I took the bait and have my tickets for this Wednesday. Time to throw my body down Killington on a set of wheels and see if I can survive. Wish me luck.
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine.

Obviously if they are offering it to all ages then I misread it.

Highly recommended as it was great fun. They supply the bike, helmet, elbow and knee pads as well as a two hour lesson on the basic skills needed. I was very comfortable riding down all the Snowshed trails. Took one small digger when I got a little heavy on the brake. The one thing that I needed to bring was a pair of riding gloves. Hands got tired due to my self preservation death grip. Would also wear a long-sleeved wicking shirt rather then the short-sleeved one that had on. First class bikes, instruction and trails. Thanks Killington!

Special thanks to Madhatter who spent most of his day assisting myself and two other first timers.
