The stage will end just before the trail turns into the Preston Trail. Continue on Preston until you reach the Bail Out Junction. This is where Stage 6 (Lower Preston) will start. Race down Lower Preston and the stage will end just before the Tiger Crossover Road. At the road turn right and it's a short pedal to Silent Swamp. Turn left on Silent Swamp and follow it to Joyride (Stage 7). Stage 7 will end just before NW Timber. when you pop out on NW Timber continue on it back to the main venue.

About 6” of snow at the top off trail. The trail was not too bad, but definitely a slow cautious ride.

1st time at Tiger yesterday and I found this to be perfect for my skill level. I have never hit any tech nearly this gnarly, I'm surprised to see people complaining about flat turns. Watch some youtube and work on your flat cornering skills my fellow shredders. This is up there with being my favorite tech trail behind The Legend. I honestly thought this is a solid blue coming from someone who hasn't hit nearly any tech trails (flows really well too). Definitely a must ride for confident 1st timers at Tiger!

Downed tree that you need to climb over less than a quarter mile from top of the summit.

A bit wet and muddy in a few places but a blast nonetheless.

Trail Quick Link
Call me crazy, but I really love Quick Link. After a master link, many go left up the fire road, which is more direct, but QL is fun, short, and a nice little reward for finishing ML. Great trail. Includes a bit more uphill tech and features than ML.

This trail was pretty muddy today. I’m mostly a progressing beginner so I stick to blue runs and found the technical features on this run a bit beyond my ability. I definitely had to walk on the super steep sharp corners and some rocky spots but there was definitely plenty of trail in between for me to have lots of fun. I’ll come back again for some more when it dries out

Hey folks, lost a Subaru car key at tiger mountain today. It is a button key with a small blue/green key fob.

My route was Master Link --> Quick Link --> NOTG --> Crossover Rd --> Bail Out --> Preston RR --> Extra Terrestrial --> back to Crossover Rd --> Predator.

If you're on these trails in the next few days/weeks and see it, shoot me a text at 802-299-9433 and I'll buy you a beer or six. Cheers fellas!!

Hitting the trail the way Trailforks recommends is a lot of fun. Don’t listen to the comments. Don’t do it in the wet though. It’ll be puddle after puddle and it’s not flowy at all. Only worth doing if you are riding inside passage and want to climb up to fully rigid

Awkward flat turns a no rhythm at all for the first half. Gets more fun further on. Fully disagree with chunky-tech-doctor about being a top blue. And on that note, please put a little more effort into sentence formation and punctuation if you are going to make a point of reviewing a lot of trails in the area. It’s hard to take you seriously.

Probably the funnest sanctioned trail (outside a park) I have ever ridden. A refreshingly natural and loose antidote to the flow trail epidemic. Goldilocks steepness that helps you keep speed but doesn’t take it too far like many fall-line trails. Most will find it much more difficult than OTG, especially if you aren’t used to this style of riding.

Trail Joy Ride
I thought this was going to be an easy trail after Off The Grid. It was not so. Still has lots of obstacles, roots, rocks, tight switchbacks. Really fun overall, but just a bit harder than I was expecting for a blue.

Trail Master Link
Ride up the end of the "Northwest Timber Trail" where it ends at the road for roughly 5 minutes, hang a left at the fork (there is a sign), Master Link starts there. If you go right at this point, you will not be riding a climbing trail.

Trail Access Road Climb to East Tiger Summit
This is the old route up to the summit, sometimes used by logging trucks and trail crews for access, take the "Master Link" climbing trail up instead.

Trail NorthWest Timber
A pleasant XC ride that is a main link to the rest of the East Tiger trail system. If doing a shorter loop, then NTT will be your entrance and your exit. If doing a longer day by riding up the fire road to the East Summit, then NTT is your exit trail back to the parking lot.

Overall, NTT is rated Green, but it still has a few sections that will challenge novice riders. I've yet to see anyone successfully ride the big root ball in the uphill (East) direction. And same root ball in the downhill (West) direction back to parking lot is definitely a Blue trail feature. Roll it or drop it, and don't look down to your left! Also, the rock garden near the West end of the trail is more challenging riding uphill (heading West).

Trail NorthWest Timber
I haven't seen anyone clear that root ball on the trail. If anyone has a video of them doing it I'd love to see. IMO it is a expert feature, definitely not blue.

Overall experience, didn't like NW Timber very much. Almost no descent/downhill sections. A lot of climbing, including very steep sections that pop of nowhere (eg. right after a rocky/rooty patch).
