SMBC was formed to maintain and expand mountain biking opportunities in the Lamoille and Washington County area. We are a volunteer organization and look for support from riders to help with trail work, advocacy and to be good stewards of the land.

   
 

Stowe Mtn Bike Club honors co-founder and former President Rick Sokoloff

Check out the great write-up in the Stowe Reporter about Rick's Appreciation Bench! Without dedicated folks like Rick Sokoloff and Hardy Avery, we would not have over 50 miles of awesome singletrack that we have today!

Trail Conditions

Updated: June 17, 2013

Below are the current trail conditions, Green: go ride! Yellow: ride with caution and walk wet areas, Red: please do not ride today.

Adams Camp

Perry Hill

Sterling Valley

Stowe Town Loops

Cady Hill Forest

 

How we determine trail conditions: If trails are saturated from recent heavy rain, or long periods of wet weather, it is best to let them dry to avoid causing damage that may require repair. Basically, soft and wet trails are vulnerable trails. We do recognize that there are often times when most of a trail is dry, but some sections are wet.

For current status of trails in Morrisville and beyond please check with Chuck's Bikes - (802) 888-7642
