Fun. Lap this for a good time. Some of the berms had loose sand on them and I nearly bailed. CNC calls this a black, but blue seems appropriate.

Super fun descent and an obvious downhill trail that's usually ruined by people riding it uphill to skip EKG East! Weak.
I've met groups as big as 8 people climbing this trail making absolutely no noise though the berms and blind turns, nice job cancelling a descent for someone as they wait for your huge group to pass.

FYI is worth your buck. Unlike most trails at the Nordic center which f-u-c-k-i-n-g suck...this trail is fun. You also don't have to work like a pig to get to it. It's such a shame that no one at nordic can design something worth the work. It's just a bunch of hard f*cking work on shitty terrain that never utilizes the mass of mountain it f*cking sits on.

Trail EKG East
Rideable but where the f*ck is the fun at? I mean SUPER jarring...not a single view. On my third time taking this run I decided I never want to be on it again. Stupid f*cking trail. EKG more north and below the beginning of odyssey may be the only sensible enjoyable part?

Trail EKG East
Rideable for me (intermediate blue, mtb) but no fun. Maybe I just like more flow, but it felt like there was no reward for the unending jarring. I found there to be lots of crossings with other fast trails, so I couldn't get into groove. Lots of roots made for a dicey ride after a passing shower. I eventually gave up and took Meadowview (MV on the map, = greyed out access road) to Odyssey - way more scenic and fun.

Trail EKG East
EKG seems to be the primary blue trail for accessing many others. It's has enough up hill downhill sections to keep it interesting but not so steep as to leave you worn out. A nice consistant moderate level of difficulty with many different terrain types and views. Mostly side hill cruising.
