Yeah, but there's still a ton of trails up there. And yeah, Moose Haven. We've never even made it to Victory Hill. I'm always down for trips to other places, but I think KT is still gonna be pretty tough to beat.

Victory Hill was closed this past year, which I think was the precursor to what this thread is about. I suppose that was foreshadowing that we all missed.
Oh. Guess we might as well all go to Utah next year then.
No I’m sure he’ll follow us wherever we go.
I've been to Utah's house. Steep climb, little payback.
Roanoke has come up, and other places. KT was a bit special in that it had a small VT town w/ the chill vibe. Other places may have better trails but not the ability to just hop on the bike, ride, eat lunch, ride, get ice cream, jump into river, get a beer and a burrito, ride home.
At least not easy driving distance. Man, this throws my plan to winter in Brevard and summer in East Burke out the window.

You're in luck: Stratton just built/opened a bike park this summer.
Stratton build some DH trails late this summer. They are few but fun from what I hear.
I'd target Highland in NH which isn't close to there, but well worth the drive.

Imagine if you had bought this (or another house) in the area because of the KT proximity and had this happen. I've never ridden there, but it's been on my list.

Wow this looks promising. Lots more trails to come as well. https://www.stratton.com/the-mountain/mountain-improvements
Not sure how you guys feel about skills with Phil youtube guy, but i saw him do a video on Highland park and it blew my mind. Didnt even know stuff like that existed! Its #1 on my list after i get a little better for sure. This is why i was confused that a lot of you go all the way to KT. Must be really good

Never gonna let you down.
I believe this actual property is one of the landowners that pulled the plug, the land east of darling hill that has pines etc on it. Now if it was the land that had the three tees on it I would be currently getting financially creative figuring out how to buy it.

While it's possible, the property for sale isn't within one of the red closure zones on the map. When you enter the address on Google maps, it's across the street from the VT Children's Theater.

well said.
Texted my buddy who lives nearby burke:
"Rumor: a mtb rider told off some horse riders who were legally riding double track on their horses. The mtb people probably told them to get the fuck off the trails or some shit..
The horse riders are the land owners..."

Is The Bandit driving this rig off road in the KT trail system. This is so funny.

Sleepy Hollow, Hinesburg Town Forest, Carse Hill, Richmond Trails... These trails keep developing every year. Plus 20 minutes from Burlington. 15 minutes to Catamount, Saxon and Mobbs Farm. If you want to throw in a road ride... Some of the best climbs in the NE right there.
