it was very good out there yesterday...trails were tight and offered excellent grip...New Krusty is some rooty, wet, off-camber old school single track...New Blue magic is LOOOOOOONG w plenty of hits, still needs some work to make it flow into the jumps but it's really quite a trail...spectacular berms and switchbacks too...it's just alittle new right now so there are some wet spots and chattery approaches that suck up a lot speed...it's gonna be great eventually...looks like lots more room for expansion over there too....

The new Blue Magic was fun yesterday. Did a couple runs. Lots of fun jumps. Side Show Bob is always lots of fun. I like the new Sherburne Trails too. Did a couple runs there this past week. Can't wait until they build that out fully. K is a mountain biking meca! So many options close by now... :like

I rode with my little one at Killy today and Pine Hill Yesterday. Had a pisser watching her learn to rip. She cleaned every trail on Pine Hill and did her first jump today on Blue Magic. First year on a mountain bike and she is killing it. She's going to be better than me by next year. Loving it.

Great news for Bike Park enthusiasts—we’re keeping the Snowshed Express Quad and Killington Bike Park open for a bonus weekend, weather permitting. Although this was scheduled to be the final weekend for the Bike Park, mild weather and excellent trail conditions are allowing us to extend operation of the Snowshed Express Quad and Snowshed trails for one more weekend, November 4 and 5. Of course, Mother Nature always has veto power, so be sure to check the Daily Report for the most accurate info regarding our operations.
pretty sure most folks are hoping the veto comes down heavy handed...however, if not there will be more biking at K...
