On a work detail for a couple weeks in August. Where can I bring my squishy for lift runs? I've been to Diablo for the Open. So I know thats in reach. Anywhere else?
Do you have coche? If so, you can get to plattekill, which is maybe 30 minutes further than diablo, jiminy, which is maybe 2 hrs away, whiteface, which is probably closer to 5hr, highland, which is somewhere around 4-5hrs, bromont would be like 7, killington 5 or so, attitash 7, sunday river 8.
Anyways, of the options, Plattekill (Roxbury, NY) and Whiteface (Lake Placid) are must sees. Highland and Bromont next.
Beauty. Good info! Probably only gonna get one full weekend of riding out of this trip(14-16th). Maybe two. Like I said, Diablo is the only place Ive rolled up that way. Gotta decide if it's worth the drive to hit something farther. Prolly won't get another chance for awhile.
Sorry that my times were off. Never really traveled from there, only repeating what I heard.
Whiteface platty and highland would make for a very good trip. I'd rather do Bromont than Highland, but I prefer DH to bike park riding. If you like berms and jumps, Highland is certainly where it's at.
Looks like ride days should be the 14th-18th next week. My buddy is actually already up there, and doing all the work....so I'll just be crashing in the apt, and riding riding riding.... He'll be riding w me 15th-16th. But I'm flexible for a couple days into the week.
Plattekill and whiteface are definites, from experience. I've never been to highland but I'm really gonna try to get out there by the end of the season. I hope that works out. I've been riding more at Plattekill this season and it's AWESOME. Very different from Diablo, and Whiteface is different from the other two as well. Different terrain, different soil, different elevation. Hit whiteface once last season and it was very challenging but still awesome.
Hope you have a great trip. Can't go wrong with those three parks.
