Holiday needs to stop slacking and just build a legit bike park already...
Dope video brotha. I’m going to be purchasing a mountain bike soon, looking forward to riding trails.
Thanks bro! I had the hardest time finding a decent mountain bike... A lot of people have taken to the outdoors during this pandemic and they were out of stock everywhere. Good luck!
Very nice video 👌 kinsa bummed about the look of the "flow trail" I love flow trails and this is kinda just a xc type . But keep getting at it. I hope my new bike gets here soon 😔
Great video. I ride this trail alot but park at the bottom at Yodeler's Lodge and bike up.
Eric O'Brien some day I’ll have that kind of endurance! Lol
Not the fanciest park but it looks like they have several decent berms!
Great vid BTW
nice video. thanks!
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Looked like so much fun!
Looks like fun! Also your levers are super high in this vid, you like them like that? Looks uncomfortable.
This was my first ever MTB video… they’ve been adjusted since. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Looks Like Fun!!
Hey do you think I could take my hard tail here? or would i have to rent a full suspension you think?
You can definitely take ur hard tail there! FYI… They’ve modified the trail a bit this year because they are putting in the new Mardi Gras lift, and this trail runs through the middle of it briefly.
Looks fun!
Iv been snowboarding at holiday for years.. how did I not know they offered bike trails
Yes, and the trails there are really fun! I’ve also heard that HV is going to start letting guests use the Spruce Lift to allow guests to get their bikes up to the top without having to ride up. Supposed to start that this spring/summer!
great clip 👌
Nice video! I don't know HV well enough - as a skier/snowboarder, do you think adding proper berms to this trail at each turn would cause problems in the winter? Like are there snow trails through the woods that use this trail? I feel like berms are the only thing missing to make this a great flow trail
Good question! I don’t think adding proper berms would cause any problems in the winter... They accumulate enough snow and make enough snow there to have significant base depths on most runs. If they were to create proper berms, they would be well below the snow surfaces come late December.
Where's the best spot to park for these trails? And how much uphill do you have to do to get back to the top?
HV now has lift service to get you and your bike to the top of Spruce Lake (where these trails start). If you park at Tannenbaum lodge, you can get your lift pass there and then take spruce lake lift up.
@@ChasingVertical I think the lift only runs on weekends tho. And I was going to go on a weekday
@@Migsfigs ok, in that case, there is an access road that leads up to to spruce lake. Continue on the same road u would take to get to yodeler lodge or tannenbaum lodge… at the end, the road will turn to dirt. U will see a small parking area. Park there and walk around the gate leading up the hill to spruce lake. Once up there, the trail starts to the right of the lift.
@@ChasingVertical awesome, thanks! Is it a tough climb back up once you get to the bottom? Should I have someone drop me off?
@@Migsfigs yes, if u have someone willing to do it for u, I would definitely take them up on it… lol. The climb up from the gate to the top of spruce lake is enough to have u huffing and puffing for a few.
Thanks for including me and my friends in the intro! We'll have to park where you parked next time we go instead of starting at the lodge. Also, what video settings are you using on your gopro? I have the Hero 8 black and my footage gets a little blurry sometimes when it gets shaky using a chest mount.
Yea, it’s way easier parking up top... My Hero 8 is set up as follows: 4K, 60 FPS, wide, Hypersmooth set to High (not Boost). Hope this helps!
@@ChasingVertical Thank you so much!
These trails look like a lot of fun! I wish I had some trails like that around me. If you check out my backyard mtb trails you’ll see that where I live it is completely flat!
What bike are you riding?
Plus size rider Lifeshardbikeon GT Aggressor Pro, 17”
Did I miss you introducing which trail is it?
Sorry, according to HV website, it’s called the Senear Valley Trail or the “Flow Trail”.
your videos make me want to ride a bike. if it just wasn't so damn hot outside.
corgily first thing in the morning... not too hot then in my neck of the woods! Lol
So... This CAN be shuttled? I was just out there, and climb the damn hill... Next time!
Yes, after 10 AM, they open the gate to Spruce Lake... Only problem is, u will need someone to drive u back up to ur vehicle or u will be climbing the hill anyway... LOL. I have my wife drop me off and pick me up at the Yodeler Lodge. Didn’t show that in the video though... LOL
@@ChasingVertical Well, damn... that would actually make riding that trail worth it. The climb to the top sucks.
@@clfr216 Lift access coming to Spruce Lake chair May 2021.
@@bdunn1 I can't wait to see what the trails (improvements?) look like! I'm hoping to find a mix of downhill flow and cross country here. www.holidayvalley.com/summer/mountain-biking/
@@clfr216 the climb does suck but the climb to the top of the Holimont flow trail is worse but that flow trail is funner (in my opinion). Holimont is supposed to be getting lift access too.
