    So awesome to see great UA-camrs checking out the Adirondacks! I moved to Colorado a couple months ago from the Glens Falls area. One thing they haven't figured out out here is the ice cream. Stewart's alone tops anything in Denver! Just visited home a couple weeks ago and found a day to get over to Killington. What a blast that place is!

No dis to Hallie she's a bad ass to it's good to see that average mortals like myself can go to these places that you just seem to fly over. keep it up Super Phil.

    Thank you Phil for doing a vid in Northern N.Y.! I'd highly recommend checking out Mount Pisgah in Saranac Lake when you come up through again. Additionally there are a lot of public multi-use trails in the Northern Franklin County area that can get pretty gnarly and technical. Hidden gems for shure!

      There is so much untapped revenue from the MTB community. The ADK bends over backwards for the ski business, snowmobiling, yet the 3 seasons that MTBers look for trails, for parks….there could be more. We have to ADK and all the possibilities. We are in competition for the adventure minded. The west seems to be more open to the business.

    Come to east Europe. There are some great trials in the Carpati mountains in Romania.

    I feel like the GT can handle rougher trails but the Calling allowed you to get a bit steezier. Anyway, don't know if you remember me but it was good to see you at Nembafest again. You are one of the friendliest pro riders I've met 👍
