Fat Tire Winter Biking
WOODSTOCK
Over at the Woodstock Inn’s Nordic Center, Nick Mahood is also looking to build up the fat bike scene. This season will see a reprise of the “Fat Tuesday” night rides—group rides for all abilities, featuring headlamps and a casual dinner after— and Fatstock, formerly a race, will be a full-on festival this season, held on Feb. 25. Nordic Center director, Nick Mahood is also excited about plans to groom three or four of the Center’s 8 miles of singletrack for fat biking this winter and to build out mountain bike trails on nearby Suicide Six in time for the 2018 summer season.

KILLINGTON
In Killington, Alpine Bike Works, which operates the winter Fat Bike Vermont rental program is working with both the Mountain Meadows XC Center and Killington Resort to build out a network of groomed singletrack. “We just see this growing and growing,” says owner Tony Accurso.
And in what may be the biggest news of all, Killington Resort is considering a plan to add lift-served fat biking. The resort has already built out more than 29 miles of trails served by three lifts in the summer and may offer lift-served this winter. Stay tuned. Peruse our Facebook pages.
