Depending on where you're moving from and what you desire in MTB, you may be disappointed. The best riding is definitely in the northern half of the state (and VT). Riding south of green woodlands is pretty weak (minimal elevation, unchallenging except for the rock gardens).

Ahh, I moved here from Roanoke and I've been largely unimpressed with the trails most accessible to me. Conway is very good, but it's a significant drive from the Concord area where I live. Same with Kingdom trails in VT. So, brace yourself. Trails in the blue ridge offer way more in the way of climbing and extended downhills than basically anything south of Conway. Green woodlands is the only possible exception, but it's not all that diverse (no tech, just lots of berms). I'm moving back to the rockies in large part due to the general crowdedness of this part of the country and the weak MTB and skiing.
