I rode SV for the first time this past wknd. Aside from being a modern designed trail system with open flowing lines and minimal braking, I really liked the look of the trails. They looked natural, with minimal disruption to put in trail, yet still create a trailway you can carry speed and ride cool features.
I met one of Sustainable Trailworks employees doing some maintenance and he told me a lot of the trails were hand-built. Sustainable Trailworks built a lot of trails at Stowe and owner Hardy Avery designed and built SV. I'm a fan.
SV Association has a paid director, which helps insure the quality of the trail system and its future is solid.
The trails are free, but I plan to donate and go back.
