Trail Skill Rating System

[sundial]

Prepare for the worst is what I always do when I go to somewhere that I have never been.

The next place I checked with was the local IMBA (which is NEMBA in New England) website, which had some ratings but I tell you, what is someone's intermediate can be someone else's beginner or advanced.

You are sooooo right. I learned it's best to ask mtb'ers about the trail rather than go by the park rating.
