I'm calling it: as of around 2pm on Saturday Trillium is the (and will be continue to be) the best built Bike park trail of 2016...anywhere. And, it still needs a little bit of spit and polish, but even as is, you'd be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable, flowing, exciting, wide-range of appeal trail. Solid intermediates up to ripping experts are going to dig this trail...it's the non-jump trail compliment to The Gronk and a wonderful skills precursor to Billy Badger.

Between Hawleywood and trillium and the myriad of little connector add ons and improvements, T-mountain is really setting the standard for trail building in the East.

That's awesome. I can't wait to ride Trillium. Heading back on Friday. Rode Hawleywood for the first time last weekend and it was perhaps the best jump trail I've ever ridden.

I might have to do that at some point. Or next year definitely. They've really stepped their game up this year. Gronk is a great warm up/relaxed run, and then you go hit Hawleywood etc. Great trail design and layout.

Sounds like trillium is a fun trail. Can't wait to check it out. I could ride schist, hawleywood, schist, hawleywood...all day long. Awesome trails!

Talk about 3 super new long trails. First to open, Juggernaut, raw, rocky and steep. Next Hawleywood, the new standard for an expert jump trail, and this week Trillium a fantastic hybrid trail accessible to most, fun! Love working here!

That's a pretty burly set of runs! You could also get them a pretty long run with a Sleeping Jakes to Trillium...
