I might be wrong, but “DH” on train systems often means “down hike,” meaning if you need to bail that’s where you go. Great vid of a great park!

Having ridden the OG trails there for years , it is so cool to see the new trails continue to evolve. This system was a mess prior to the design Mike at Terra Tek created. Sweet spot in ol HKY!

Not only are there crows out there, but a lot of gnomes. I don't think the features you liked are coming back, unfortunately. I heard that they were supposed to link the Greenway out to meet up with Hickory. Have you heard anything?

I’d heard that, too, but not from any official source :(

@DescentAtBest I heard it last year somewhere. I did the airport section they just opened and tried to get downtown, but I guess they haven't built it yet. It would be awesome if they linked it all up. There was a trail I saw over in Raleigh that said it was the mountain to sea trail. I'll have to look into that some more. Hope your knees heal up.

Oh yeah I sell skis at Curated so I have convos like this daily. What I’d need to know is your age, height, weight, ability level, # of years skiing, the kind(s) of terrain you intend to ski, and your intended budget. We don’t sell used at Curated but I’m happy to point you in the right direction as far as what to seek!

My right knee is completely jacked up. Broke is skating in the mid 80s and then again surfing in the late 80s. Surgery back then helped but now it's at the point where a replacement might be needed. Good thing riding doesn't bother it. Running or hiking kinda sucks.
