Waterbury, Stowe and Morrisville contain a stunning, complex and often bewildering spider’s web of trails for all levels of riders. Depending on your skill level, they are all fun. But many would not win awards because of their roots, ruggedness, hard-to-findness and so on.
But, increasingly, some Stowe trails are being recognized for their all-around excellence.
This spring, the website onthesnow.com tapped Kimmer’s Trail in the Adam’s Camp property as one of the top 10 in America, up there with trails in Colorado, California and other lofty locales.
Here’s what Onthesnow had to say: “A few years ago, the Stowe Mountain Bike Club opened Kimmer’s trail, a flowing eight-mile trail with berms, bridges and rollers. It was built for all skill levels to enjoy, while bonus features up the ante for advanced riders. It’s best ridden as an out and back or as a link between the Trapps Trails and the town of Stowe.”
They got it mostly right, but failed to mention two important items. Kimmer’s was named for avid Stowe cyclist Kimmer Adams, who died in a mountain biking accident. The adjacent and equally amazing Hardy’s Haul trail, named for local ski- and bike-trail architect and builder Hardy Avery can be ridden as an uphill to connect to Kimmer’s trail.
Nominations are open for the annual 4393 Awards, a reader survey sponsored by the Stowe Reporter and News & Citizen to honor the best in our area. This nomination period is your chance to write in names, so if you (or your favorite business) want to be on the list of finalists, spread the word. Nominations are open through April 25.
