That mountain has more potential in terms of size, woods, cool towns, local campgrounds and fastest Gondala than any that I've been too, except for St. Anne. I would say it is equal to St. Anne, but with a much coolers town location. Wilmington and Lake Placid are very cool and the North pole campground was great for me and the family. There is an awesome Gorge that people dive into 1/4 mile from whiteface. The hours need to be extended by at least 1 hour, maybe 2. The management of the rest of the mountain have mixed emotions about biking there- politics are everywhere in life, so it really shouldn't matter if mike can make some more trails with structures like highlands/mountaincreek, the place would be stellar. I also heard a rider claim the trails need to be labeled blue, green, diamond, etc. The pump track would be better somewhere lower on the mountain b/c then dads like me could take our kids there, like i did at highlands. I'm not just saying this, White face has more potential and I wish I was racing instead of filming. The course was sweet and fast- challenging in terms of flow and endurance, but lacking any scary stuff- which to be honest, i'm sick of scary stuff in the middle of my run, especially if I'm going to ride almost 8 minutes. I also loved the chainless category- that is sweet. Good job mike.

Viscous, hopefully we can ride at Platty or someplace this season. You coming back to Whiteface this year? Killington opened mid week last year for a few days during peak foliage. Man I am jonesing to ride as a customer somewhere. Maybe I can take a some time off and go to the series final at Plattekill. _________________ Whiteface Mountain Bike Park www.downhillmike.com Size does matter!
