    So glad they have put something up there instead of a ski resort noone attended. Finally my state has something I can actually enjoy when we go to gatlinburg.

    Thank you so much for this video. I am going with my family to pigeon Forge in two weeks to meet up with my inlaws . My wife ,son and I are going to stop by Brevard for a few days before that. I thought I would be done biking when we head up to Tennessee but I guess I will have to check out this park.😂

    Thanks for taking one for the team and reviewing this new lift park on opening day! The thought of visiting Gatlinburg on Memorial Day weekend is too much for me. Park looks great and it has a lot of potential. Great video!

      Thanks! I definitely wasn’t going to do it Sat-Mon. I’d say it could get pretty clogged up at the lift until they get that thing sped up.

    We were there the following day, with my 10 year old. The lift broke but they transitioned to shuttles and it was ok. I agree with your ending comments. The trails are ok, showing great potential. I wouldn't make a trip here with my riding buddies, there are just better options in the SE. However if you are in the area doing Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg stuff with your family, now you can bring your bike!

      We were able to park as close to the lift is anywhere I’ve ever been for skiing or biking. It was extremely close. That being said, if that upper lot fills up, there are lower overfill lots if you don’t get there early.

    My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.

    Place looks like it sucks. The flow trails look pretty bad and definitely need more and bigger jumps. The Tech looks ok but the runs are too short. I’d give this place a solid 5/10. It definitely needs a lot of help. The lift looks annoying too because of how slow it is.
