What is open at wintergreen right now Ralph? I live down the street and am off for a couple days.
Wintergreen questions
- Thread starter mud'n'sweat
- Start date
Does anyone know if Wintergreen rents decent downhill bikes and all of the armour to go along? How much does it all cost and are the trails worth the cost or would it just be better to wait and go to Snowshoe to introduce someone to DH and rent all the gear?
From what they said their open this Thursday, officially. It seems they keep changing it.mud'n'sweat said:
Anyone have a better handle on it?
I too would like to know what's up with Wintergreen. Turns out my wife's uncle has a condo there. 
I would say that Wintergreen is a good place to be introduced to DH but I have never been to Snowshoe so I can't make a fair comparision. Wintergreen does rent out Kona bikes that are a few years old and have been riden hard, however they have also been maintained. The pads are several years old too and I have no idea how often they have been washed! :hot: But it is closer then SS so you could easily make a day trip out of it.VT Mtbkr said:
As for the rental costs of the items needed, I have no idea
Wintergreen has no dirt jumps at all. I dont even know if they have a trail crew since that one guy doesnt do it from what i understand.
In comparison their is none between WG and Snowshoe. One is run by the same people that do whistler one isnt.

I didn't get the job in Tenn btw. I was pretty bummed when I heard the news. No Windrock in my immediate future.

I split the thread because I wanted to keep the XC stuff separate. I kinda derailed the thread myself, so I split the thread.
without disagreeing with all that's been said about the general low-budgetness of wintergreen, snowshoe is a terrible place for beginners. It is nothing but steep rocky runs with very little terrain that would let somebody warm up to the sport.
