People keep telling me the landing is better than Phantom which I hit regularly. Is this true?
Yes as long as you don't go deep . Although phantom seems to be running a little smoother this year
🙏⚰ RIP
Phantom is probably the harshest landing in the park.
Is it? I’ve been been dodging it so far this year... my bike is hanging on by a thread as it is 😆
If you crawl off at an angle it's OK. Anthem also has a newly buffed landing

I'm of the opinion Gravity Logic should build every flow and jump trail everywhere.
Sideshow Bob is unreal at Killington.
Sideshow Bob at Creek is my all time nemesis so it’s hard to imagine it as a flow trail lol

Did a double take when I went to Creek since I went to Killington first last year.
Man I can't wait to go back.
Never been. It’s on the list for this year. Hitting Highland for the first time tomorrow...so stoked.

Nice! I'd love to do the big ones in NE this year...Highland, Thunder and Killington.
Killington has free camping in their lot again which is nice to cut some costs.

There's a camp ground a few miles away from Killington that is great. Gifford Woods. Nice shower facilities, etc and some xc trails right out of camp.

Those cabins look absolutely awesome. Only $53 a night too? Sold.

Nice. Free camping at Killington is one of the reasons I've been wanting to build a camper-van.
Highland is fun, but I don't know if I'd go there so early in the season. I'm not sure all of the trails are open yet and the lift line can be brutal. If you're on an enduro bike, be sure to check out Faux Pine off the back side - arguably the best natural terrain trail on the mtn - as well as one of the longest runs you can do there.

Long story short... some friends got an Airbnb this weekend and somebody backed out so there was a free room 👍

Brush up on your French. I've been there early in the season and felt like I was in Europe (or Quebec, Canada...) due to the lack of English used in the lift line.
Of course, you'll probably be in that line for long enough to learn some French if you want to...

There’s no open border so he can fall back to the southern hick dialect of NH. Should also help the lift line issue a bit.

That's a blue trail? I guess creek's designations have me skewed a bit.
