What ski areas still ofer lift-serviced mountain biking? I knew it used to be big at Snow, Killington, Attitash and Sunday River. Do they all still do it?

Hunter, usually starting around July 1 and ending around end September or Columbus Day in October.
Looks like Ski Sundown in CT is seriously considering it for next summer.

For next summer or this summer? That would be cool. I'd try it.bvibert said:
For next summer it sounds. They wouldn't have the time to get everything setup to have anything decent for this summer. It sounds like they try to do some races or something at the end of this summer though...Greg said:

Can't remember.. I think its called snow's mountain right across from waterville. My family uses the lift to get up and Ride down and use the mountain trails. I hike and.run to keep up.

Killington and Snow for sure. I've been once a year to Killington the past 6 summers. K actually has hooks on the K1 gondola they hang your bike from. It's the obvious lift to choose, but it is easy to ride down below the level of the lift over on Bear and Skye and have to slog it back up.
But what the hell! That's what biking is all about right? Going under your own power.
People don't realize how tired just DH'ing will make you. There are also a couple unavoidable uphills to access the trails on Snowdon and Ramshead.

Doesn't Attitash do it too? The only lift-serviced biking I've done is at Kmart though.

Does bolton offer lift access for biking? I know there are tons of XC trails, though I have never heard anything about them running lifts durring the summer. If they do, I will certainly be checking it out this summer

For downhill, I'm not too into it... I DO THOUGH FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO BE ON TWO WHEELS AND BIKE DOWNHILL to go to mountain creek or plattekill.
For XC (with lift service), mountain creek again... but why XC with a lift when the point is to get exercise.

yes, Bolton does. I mentioned it in a previous post.
Lift service is only open select weekends thru the summer though, XC is open all summer. They have excellant DH/freeride trails full of stunts and some highspeed runs, and their XC trails are great too! highly reccomended!!!

I've heard Highlands is supposed to be pretty sick. It will definitely be worthy of a trip to Tilton, NH this summer.djspookman said:

Next season Hunter's going to ramp it up a bit and become more of a DH park.. Last summer they already started building pieces of the course..
