Wow!! I know this is a year old but I just found it. I love finding other people who are “blue” level and still make great videos. I like watching whistler double black runs too, but I could never ride them. You showed me some awesome trails I can work up to. Thanks.
Great overview. Helpful. Other riders vids just show the rider going down the trail without much of a description and/or information about the overall spot. Your stands apart
It might be worth the drive for an absolute beginner. Killington offers rentals and lessons and far easier green trails to learn on and master. You will likely have an easier time and feel more confident and stick with it rather than blue mountain as it seems a little harder there and may steer you away from the sport. It's easier to progress from smooth easy green trails at Killington than steep rocky and rooty green trails at blue mountain.
You're better off going to Mountain Creek if you're a beginner. Honestly, IMHO, if you're a rank beginner I'd get a bunch of hours on your bike on local or nearby trail systems before hitting the bike parks. At least 100 hours if you want to be conservative. Get your basics and confidence up because things can go wrong real quick at bike parks. My other main suggestion is wear as much protection as humanly possible. I'm talking full face helmet, body armor (shoulder, elbow, chest, spine/back, knee, shin and neck brace if possible).

Thanks for the tour. I'm a beginner to mountain biking and am glad that you covered all the skill levels. I'll be going next summer!
Glad I can help!
Heading there in 3 weeks!!! Thank you for raising my confidence that there is a trail for me!🎉
Exactly the video I was looking for! Going tomorrow for the first time and now I know what to expect. Thanks!
Glad I could help! This is what I make the videos for. Enjoy Killington. It's amazing!
This was a really well put together video. Thank you!
I appreciate the comment. I hope the video helped!
Great review! Now I am all pumped up to try it soon!
Great video! Heading up to Killington tomorrow for the first time, and i made some notes based your experience/recommendations :)
Awesome! That's why I make these videos. You'll really enjoy it
Great video. Making a trip to Killington BP next weekend. Blue Mountain is my home BP. From the Lancaster area.
You will definitely enjoy yourself. And I love blue as well
@@povtrails1219 Rode at Killington 2 weeks ago. Great place posted some from the GoPro. Slow at first
Great video! looking forward to going. Fellow PA rider(Philly)

Thanks!

Sweet dude. We are going to Mountain Creek friday the 9th if you want to join. Trying to get there for gate opening at noon.
Wish I could. I'm working all day and still nursing a bruised thumb from Blue Mountain last weekend. Thanks for the invite though. Maybe next time
Going here in a couple can't wait with my new trek fuel ex 5 29er
It's great there. Have fun!
Where in PA are you from?
So for a rank beginner in PA, would Killington be worth the drive over Blue Mountain for a first bike park foray?
