I know, I ask this question all the time. But if what they're saying on bustedspoke is true, and there won't be any DH'ing at Tenney mountains except for races, then wehre is the nearest lift assisted downhilling to Boston? Mount Snow? That's like 3 hours away. There's got to be something closer than that!

I know some guys that were just out at Jiminy Peak in Hancock, MA (out on the MA/NY border). They said it was great riding. Depending on where you are that may be closer than Mt Snow.

Yeah, its great there. I reccomend a trail called "Grandma's House" for beginners. They do rent armor, just knee and elbow pads I think though. I rode the XC there for the first time on my 40 pound DH bike the other day becuase it was raining and the lifts were shut down. I made a video just need to find a host.

yeah I was there but I was on my K2 Zed, I did see both of those guys those, not sure about the Cannondal though. The guy on the p.3 pulled a huge X-up off of the sand drop by the ladder bridges.

yeah those guys completely ripped, and it looked like they added some new jumps/drops near the right side of the playgroubd (looking at the map)
