Not everything on Pickleback is rollable. There is a mandatory wood step up and drop. I’d say Bryce is better for beginners because it has smoother trails. Massanutten has some easy trails at the bottom that are beginner friendly but the bottom lift is very slow. Overall, I like Massanutten better because of the faster upper lift and the greater variety in trails. That’s just my opinion though 😉
Last year at bryce the lift malfunctioned and was down for about 2 hrs. Everyone who didnt want to wait was comped a free day. I get trail closures are annoying especially if you are traveling to a place and paying to ride. However this is all part of a good dh park. Unlike the one closest to me that does virtually no trail maintanice during the season to the point of recklessness. If a trail is closed it is most likly a safety concern. That said a updated closure list online or otherwise would be nice but closing a trail right before the park opens is common at all lift parks if the staff deems it so. Its all chance that you take going to pay to ride places.
So stoked to get to Bryce soon! Haven’t been there since October. Ended up going to MC but it looks like they really did a face lift on the trails
Is pickleback chill for a beginner if they roll everything and is massanutten or bryce better in your opinion
