...has put a bunch of money into building downhill trails and a terrain park. This weekend is their opening, and a friend gave me a lift ticket yesterday.
First time I have ever been on a chairlift. I found the first ride down really intimidating, which was exacerbated by my not remembering to lower the seat and by some of the trails being really new, soft and not ridden in.
I pedaled up for the second run to give myself some reset time, and did a little better coming down, and rode the chair for a third, which was enough for me for a first shot.
It's a different sort of riding, for sure and I think I could learn to enjoy it, but on the average I am not likely to travel and pay lift fees on anything like a regular basis.
I do think that Sugarbush is worth checking out for them what likes tow-and-coast.
