| I understand that they have a mountain bike school there.
It's rather expensive (around $250-$300 for the weekend).
Which includes food, lodging and the use of a Cannondale.
Just out of curiosity...does anyone know exactly what it
is that they teach? Are there that many subtleties to
mountain biking to warrant taking lessons? I mean, I learned
quite a bit about MBing during the first few beatings - if
you know what I mean. :-)

| We did go to Mount Snow, it was a great, tiring weekend. We did
not take part in the school since we were all experienced mountain
bikers. The school appeared to be for beginners, I only saw them
on the dirt roads surrounding Mt. Snow. We purchased their map,
$5.00 and it was basically not much help, except on the Mt. Snow
property. Climbing the mountain on a dirt access road was interesting,
some walking and resting was needed. The downhill was tremendous!!!
Other than the mountain trails, the map leads you around dirt and
old class 4 roads. Following the map was next to impossible. I
would advise obtaining a Vermont Map book which has more detail.
I have heard that next year, Mt. Snow will be charging admission
to use their facilities, but this year it is free.
We are now planning another trip in foliage season.
