I finally got a chance to go ride in Vt after many years of riding nj/pa area. Me and my gf went up to killington for 4 days of riding this past week. (thurs-sun) Thurs was kinda beat since we got to the mtn at 3:00. Fri was rained out after noon, but sat. and sun kicked ass. Got in a ton of runs, and I must say, it's the most fun i've had in a long time. I barely rode last year, so this is kinda my first real year back to riding since about 98/99. We didnt ride every trail, but, probably road 75% of them. I think my favorite run was 1>3>6>24>26. It was all pretty wet from Fri's rain, so it wasnt real fast, which couldve made trails like 11 much much better. The airborne rode fairly well overall(not 100% satisfied w/ it's handling), but this is really the first time I wanted a full susp. bike. Riding down 1/7, just killed me. Very rocky, and after a while, my hands just couldnt take the pounding any more. I definitely recommend killington, and plan to return for another few days of riding before the seasons over. Heres just a couple pics from the ride:

Could you imagine if all these mtns get as busy in the summer with mtn bikers as they are in winter.....
