Kingdom Trails/Burke Mountain Entering the World of Downhill Mountain Biking

Saturday, September 18th marks the long anticipated opening of lift served mountain biking at Burke Mountain Ski Area with the addition of the new downhill bike park on Kingdom Trails, Knightslayer. Burke Mountain will open the Sherburne Express chairlift from the Base Lodge from 11am-6pm on weekends and holidays until mid October. The chair lift will access four already established, but improved and re-routed single track trails as well as the new premier jump trail, Knightslayer, featuring world class table tops, step ups, step downs, rollers and sky high berms. "Collaborating with Burke Mountain and Ideride to build this bike park will keep us as a premier mountain bike destination." says CJ Scott, KTA Trail Manager.

Kingdom Trail Association, voted the BEST TRAIL NETWORK in North America by Bike Magazine, provides recreation and education opportunities for local residents and visitors while working to conserve natural resources and create economic stimulation. KTA has permission of 50 landowners and businesses that make the 100 mile four season non-motorized trail system possible.
