More of a physical challenge than a technical one due to sustained steep, chundery sections. It’d make a great Enduro race course. Like others have said, this trail would be a black in most parts of the world.

I’d skip this one if your from Colorado (like me) or any place that’s got decent vertical drop. You’ve probably got a similar trail in your backyard already. Hit Turnstyles instead.

Lots of trees down. It's fine for hiking (although the snow isn't hard in a lot of places higher up so it's "challenging"), but there's going to be a solid amount of work required to clear the trail up in the Spring.

Berms tables and optional gaps, some requiring a look-see before sending

As others have said, this is on the darker end of blue trails, some tricky moves and lots of chunk

I agree with it being a BC blue, black everywhere else. Rode it today no trees, but it seems like it is getting badly eroded. Just makes it more techie.

I would agree, more black than blue. There are also about 8 trees on the trail. You have to stop and lift your bike over it. This was May 4. 2019
Not meant as a critic more a heads up for others.
