Wow, I live at Snowshoe during the winter and get to cross country ski up here, great place but when I was living on the east coast this was the place to come during the summer. Great place to mountain bike and the trails are world class. Gil and Mary at ERTC are the best, will help out in any way to make sure that you have an epicday there in Slatyfork!

Was my first out of state trip for riding. Rode as many trails as we could in two days. Tea Creek had a great downhill at the end that made up for all the technical climbing in the beginning. Bring two cars if you are going with a group of friends. Some trails don't start and finsh in a loop. You will end up having to do the 4 mile 8 degree climb before or after. Either way it will burn. Would definitley go there again. Good variety of trails for every slill level. Only had problems on one trail with bad markers and got lost for a half hour.Other than that it's a great place to spend a long weekend with your friends and your bike. (rode all weekend on a hard tail, might consider bringing full suspension next time).
