Mountain Bikers out there, you're so gonna love these babies!!…read more First, full disclosure, we're not mountain bikers, we're more the hiking type. However, after walking some of these trails today, we're pretty sure Mountain bikers in particular will love them! Currently there are 7 trails to choose from with 3 levels of difficulty. The trails are a multi-purpose landmark for the New York State DEC and are open to mountain biking, hiking, trail running, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and pretty much whatever else you can do without the use of a motor vehicle. The trail we hiked had many cool twists and turns that flowed through a beautiful open forest habitat. Very different from any of the other areas we've hiked in the last week, so if you're in the area give Beaver Brook trails a try. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Special Note: The tract network was built, and is maintained, almost entirely by volunteers. So, please be respectful of their work and other users as you enjoy these trails. List of the current trails and level of effort: Trail 1 - Double Time is 0.6 mile long and is Ranked Easy Trail 2 - Make Believe is 0.8 mile long and is Ranked Easy Trail 3 - Twisted Pine is 0.3 mile long and is Ranked Hard Trail 4 - Safe Bet is 0.4 mile long and is Ranked Moderate Trail 5 - Good Luck is 0.9 mile long and is Ranked Hard Trail 6 - Coniferous is 0.6 mile long and is Ranked Easy Trail 7 - All-In is 3.0 miles long and ranked Hard

He told us to come over. We got there and was immediately helped by Derek who, after learning what we were after, took us back where the masters were busy setting up some bikes.

What a beautiful mountain!…read more As an adult first learning to ski, I found Whiteface fairly intimidating. Just the drive in with its sweeping views of the east slope landscape is awe-inspiring. As an Olympic mountain with the greatest continuous vertical drop in the eastern US, this ski mountain has so much to offer for all levels of outdoor enthusiast. The Bear's Den area is the perfect launching point for little ones, new skiers, or those who prefer to warm up with an easy slope. If you're ready to jump in, there's a series of greens, blues, blacks, and more that can be accessed from their main lodge area by a gondola and several chairlifts to the mid and upper mountain. Even on busy days there's so many miles of trails that it keeps the crowds spread out to a degree. Can the lift lines get excessive? Sure. But if you're not picky, you can ski around (or stick to the upper mountain) and you can get a decent amount of runs in. Great mountain to level up on. In the past year I've graduated to some of their blues and finally made it to their highest lift (at 4,386 feet!) to soak in the amazing views of the surrounding Adirondacks. I've hiked many a mountain in summer this height but it was rewarding to catch a ride to the top and make my way down on skis. I appreciated the trail matrix available this year to gain a better understanding of which blues are easier and which start to verge on black so that I don't find myself in an overly uncomfortable situation before I'm mentally ready to do so. While all skiing is generally expensive, I feel you get a pretty good bang for your buck. Great facilities with a mid-mountain lodge. Fun events to watch if you catch them on a day you're already on-mountain. I caught both giant slalom and slalom this last trip. I'm clearly no expert but, I'm a fan of this location and am grateful to have the opportunity to ski here a couple times a year when in the area. I will have to hike it sometime to appreciate all that the non-winter season has to offer.

I have been trying to ski Whiteface for a while, usually one thing or another prevented me…read more Luckily this time I got a full day of skiing. Getting to Whiteface from my hotel in Lake George was easy; parking ended up being easy since I choose to park at the Bear Den Lodge area so I ended up almost to the lodge. I picked up my lift ticket RFID ticket from the electronic dispenser with no problem; by buying online in advance I got a discount price. The lodge was nice and even had racks available for free bag storage. I do appreciate that getting to the lodge and from the lodge to the lifts without having to climb steps. Overall the logistics were great for getting onto the mountain at the Bear Den area. The biggest downside I encountered was that the lifts were delayed almost 1 hour so that the groomers could redo the mountain since there was an ice storm overnight. I do have to call out the lift operator who kept us informed and entertained during the wait; it was much appreciated. Once the lifts were running there is one lift that gets you from the Bear Den area which is the beginner's area to mid-mountain and access to the rest of the mountain. Once I got skiing, Whiteface lived up to its Iceface nickname both early in the morning and then later in the afternoon. I was glad that they had regroomed the slopes so the skiing was good for most of the day. 3mmit and Lookout Mountain. I got to ski all 3 areas and really enjoyed myself. Little Whiteface was a bit limited since they had closed a whole face and one lift for race training. The Summit of course puts you up high and provides the choice to ski quite a few different trails and you can go to mid-mountain or the full 3000+ vertical to the base area. Lookout Mountain was opened later than the other areas and then was closed again for a while for regrooming; I was a bit disappointed by this since I found the Willmington Trail to be some of the best skiing on the mountain. A great long intermediate trail with fun twists and turns and variations in the slope, I would have taken a couple more runs on this trail if I had the chance. I really enjoyed skiing Whiteface, it is the largest vertical for any Eastern ski area. The lift system works well and navigating the mountain is not too hard. Having hosted the winter Olympics there is plenty of challenge and variety. Prices are reasonable, especially if you buy your tickets online and in advance. Because Lake Placid is a bit remote the lift lines were short. As long as the weather cooperates Whiteface is a great place to ski or ride.

I found the maps that were posted to be very confusing and frankly the trails I rode were not particularly well marked. I feel like it's got a ton of potential, but it was a pain to try to navigate without trails being clearly marked. The interesting thing was that I saw an experienced rider heading in to the trails, I picked her brain a little and even though she had been there a number of times - she said that the trails are difficult to navigate. I was disappointed In that, but the terrain was pretty awesome. I just get a little frustrated when I can't find my way around. If you are going to ride here - I would strongly recommend downloading the app Trailforks, which I did after getting VERY irritated by not being able to find trailheads. I hope you're time riding here is better than and easier to navigate than mine.

Surface is mostly a crush stone, better for fatter tires although I have seen some road bikes using it. No suspension is necessary on this ride. Trailhead begins just behind the Greek diner off Main Street, parking along the old rail right of way. I've not ridden further than Enosburg thus far. It terminates in Richford, VT. One interesting development is the eventual link-up of another, much longer rail trail known as the Lamoille Valle Rail Trail, which will travel East - West from Swanton to St. Johnsbury. Read about it at http://lvrt.org/ Because of a minor disability, I'm no longer a mountain biker but I can see building a nice rigid carbon bike and using the trail purely for good cardiovascular exercise.
