Corbett Tulip
Born and raised in the Mount Washington Valley in New Hampshire, I have traveled and lived all across the USA, but now call New Hampshire home. My love of the outdoors started as a kid playing in the woods behind my family’s house. Bicycles were a tool to get ourselves deeper into the woods, and my passion for mountain biking began bombing down the ski slopes of our local mountain. A passion for trail building came soon after, Over the past decade, I have been lucky enough to be a part of developing some of New Hampshire’s most unique and well-known mountain biking destinations.
Since 2019, Tulip Trails has specialized in purpose-built mountain bike trails of all types, from hand-built singletrack to downhill-specific bike park trails. Our eye for aesthetics and unique building techniques will ensure your trail is not only built to last but provides a one-of-a-kind experience as well. With the recent boom in recreation trail construction, many new trail construction companies have popped up to meet the growing demand for new trails. Unlike more conventional construction projects, your choice of contractor will directly influence the trail that is built. The builder’s vision and experience dictate the flow and aesthetics of the trail. The boom of mechanized ‘flow’ trail construction has allowed for increased user accessibility but can often leave trails feeling sanitized and dull. This is where our experience and unique perspective can help create a trail that is accessible, sustainable, and most importantly, fun to ride! Every trail has its own set of challenges and goals that shape it into its own distinctive project. We enjoy working with all types of user groups to help their projects become a reality!
