TONS of fun at Kanuga Bike Park in North Carolina. Even as an intermediate rider who can't jump I had a blast. My childhood friend Julio was along to give me some pointers and training.
Some pointers on where to stay and renting ebikes:
I would recommend renting an eMTB from them online ahead of time at ridekanuga.com
The Specialized Turbo SL is a much better choice than the Trek Rail 7. The Trek is faster and easier uphill but it is very heavy. The Specialized is lighter, more nimble and really felt no different than my own bike, but it has less assist for climbing.
We stayed at the Kanuga Inn which was very reasonable, clean, recently renovated and includes breakfast. The staff is awesome and bike friendly. Bring your own pillows and shampoo and there is no TV in the rooms though. There is Wi-Fi.
