Join VMBA for our second Member Party at Saskadena Six! We’ll be celebrating the opening of S6’s full base area with more vendors, community partners, and bike demos than before!

2024’s Member Party is sponsored by Fiddlehead Brewery, Mascoma Bank and the Richard Tom Foundation to give you the best riding and gathering experience to help close out the riding season. Trail Break will be back with their stellar tacos, with beer from Fiddlehead Brewing on tap and dessert provided by Adidas Five Ten.

Your ticket not only reserves your place at an event you won’t want to miss, but includes tacos, a beer (or cider), dessert, and one free raffle ticket (worth $5!). 

Don’t worry, we’ll have trail snacks and beverages at all of our trailheads provided by Mi Nina Tortilla, Kate’s Real Food, VT Smoke and Cure, Cabot, Chug Water, and Plink. 

Join us between 8:30-11 am at Saskadena Six with your caffeine fix thanks to Sexy Llama Coffee Roasters.  

We have a variety of group rides for you to hop on, including a Triple Crown challenge led by our friends at Ranch Camp (if you complete it, we’ll throw another raffle ticket your way), and group rides at Mt. Peg and Aqueduct starting at 11 am. Make sure to reserve your spot today on the ride that is best for you, as all rides have limited capacity! Our partners at Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports will be hosting adaptive rides at Saskadena Six at 11 am as well. Please sign up with Vermont Adaptive to reserve your spot on their rides!

Head over to Saskadena Six at 1 pm to check out our vendor village and enjoy the trails at the mountain! We’ll be there with partners from Specialized, Karbon, and more to sling demo bikes and party laps with Ranch Camp on the hour every hour (1, 2, and 3 pm).

VMBA also is working with S6 to provide camping at S6 on 9/21, just get your ticket. See below for other lodging options as well. What better way to start the member party than being in town already and a coffee from Sexy Llama outside of your tent. 

We hope to see you there!
