Never been to Pisgah. Need to fix that this summer.

It'll ruin riding anywhere else for you...but it's worth it.

Oh, I guess Carvins is also a good ride within a couple hours.

Shit, and the Western Slope of Massanutten. The Western Slope is an absolute gem.

The lift park? haven't ridden it, but by all accounts Snowshoe is wildly superior.

The Western Slope are XC, all climby no lift, trails. There's a robust network of trails and there's a ton of progression. You can ride flow, dirt, rock, chunk and it's really easy to tell what the difficulty is gonna look like (higher up the hill the harder the trail...generally).

You have to buy a $10 day pass for the western slope, but all the dollars go to SVBC to build and maintain trails, so totally worth it. I think you can do like one trail work day and ride all year based on that too.
