PLATTEKILL MOUNTAIN ANNOUNCES THE ARRIVAL OF MOUNTAIN BIKE CAMPS TO THEIR OFFERINGS
New this summer Plattekill Mountain is announcing the arrival of Mountain Bike Camps to their array of resort offerings. "The main barrier to entry for many interested in mountain biking here at Plattekill has been people's hesitancy to bike 'down a ski mountain' "according to Plattekill's Marketing Manager, Danielle Vajtay. So, to combat these fears, this year Plattekill has decided to offer mountain bike camps to help ease people's concerns and get riders feeling confident on a mountain bike, riding on true off road trails, and getting more people riding on the resort trails!
The mountain's camp schedule will consisit of weekend-long camps geared for different levels/types of riders and modified to those specialized riders needs. Namely the mountain will feature a MTB101 camp which takes mountain bike riding from the top and is for "entry level" type off-road riders. For women, there will be a special "womens clinic" geared specifically towards the female rider with a specific format featured. For the kids, they'll have that too, a 3-day junior camp for boys and girls ages 8-14 teaching everything from bike set up to, to shifting, breaking and bike maintenance.
Experiened riders, they've got that covered too. An advanced Pro downhill camp will be offered for those wishing to take their riding skills to a whole new level and will focus on improving racing and riding techniques. This camp is open to male and female riders with advanced level skills.
