Only issue is the locals in EB don't want any visitors any more, the situation with Kingdom trail access has only gotten worse and I think the goal for the locals is cut back on excess tourism to the area by any means nessisary. They could give a shit about the economic benefit, they moved to the NEK or choose to stay in the NEK because of how isolated and unpopulated it is. A few thousand Quebecois and even worse a few hundred New Yorkers clogging up their roads and being disrespectful is what they would like to cut back if not get rid of all together. I know the situation with Kingdom is not exactly the situation on the mountain but the goals of the locals are clearly out of line with goals of developers and tourism based business. Call me crazy but I actually don't think the Kingdom trails are destination worthy outside of sheer volume of trail, which is being curtailed more and more. The same can be said for the mountain and skiing, there is better terrain all at least an hour closer to anyone coming from any of the major outlying metro areas. Let the locals take their home back, regain their unfettered horse and snowmobile access and tourist can go where they will be welcomed with open arms whether that be the Mad River Valley, Stowe, Slate Valley, Woodstock even Conway New Hampshire.
