Vermont Business Magazine Gary S Thulander, president and general manager of the Woodstock Inn & Resort, has announced construction of the new Suicide Six Elemental Bike Park is underway with facilities scheduled to open in July. The Woodstock Inn & Resort, in partnership with Sinuosity: Flowing Trails, is constructing six miles of mountain biking trails that will be accessible via the Suicide Six Ski Area’s quad chairlift. With a variety of progressive terrain the bike park will offer fun for all ages and skill levels.
“The Suicide Six Elemental Bike Park furthers the mission of the Woodstock Inn & Resort to remain a vibrant, year-round destination for both travelers and the community,” said Gary S. Thulander, president and general manager. “We encourage our guests to enrich their resort experiences by trying new activities while also exploring the town of Woodstock and its surrounding areas.”
Design plans include pump tracks, a Strider park for even the youngest riders, and a skills development area designed to develop confidence and technique. Additionally, advanced riders will find technical DH-specific runs and flowing jump lines. Certified coaches, premium bike rentals from Kona and Santa Cruz, scenic chair rides, hiking, craft beer and farm-to-table fare will also be available for guests.
Recognized as one of the oldest ski areas in the country, Suicide Six has a rich history. America’s first rope tow, introduced on nearby Gilbert’s Farm in 1934, evolved into the opening of Suicide Six in 1936. In 1961 Laurance S. Rockefeller purchased Suicide Six from its founder, Wallace “Bunny” Bertram, as part of his vision for the community of Woodstock. With the new Elemental Bike Park, Suicide Six will now be a year-round destination, allowing families to experience authentic Vermont throughout the seasons.
The Elemental Bike Park at Suicide Six is open seven days a week with lift access on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00am to 5:00pm through October. For more information visit https://www.mtbs6.com. The full list of rates and rental prices are listed here: https://www.mtbs6.com/tickets-passes.
