Burke, Kingdom Trails

KT and Victory:

When a major land owner threw a hissy fit and cut KT in half a few years back, the question arose as to whether KT should be subject to Act 250 review. As a result of that kerfuffle, the Act 250 bureaucrats apparently felt that they had been caught with their pants down, which is why they decided to go after Victory and shut them down for a period.

I seriously doubt that Victory manages to make significant money on their system. The trails were built by a competent and experienced local with permission and were quietly in use for a while before the bureaucrats descended. I wish them the best of luck.

thanks for this explanation. Makes sense to me, and the related "dis-association" of Victory from KT. BTW, I've been to KT twice recently and I had no idea Victory was there. So yeah, any revenues were not substantial at all. But right now no ticket required; just check in and sign waiver. Next time up there I'd like to ride over and check it out.

I doubt Killington makes much of anything on their system. There's no chance Victory does.

Kingdom 2022: anyone have a report on the new trails up there? Looks like they’ve been busy with trail building.

Check out @Norm ’s posts under the 31:31 challenge where him and @Dominique were up there for a few days.

Bunch of new stuff as always and they opened a new trail since we were there on 7/31. The Shonter Shuffle extension to Besaw makes an epic loop.
