Trail Billy Epic
I'd say that there are a couple sections that are probably double black. Starting with the entrance :-) after that i had to walk a couple short sections that were too janky for me. Glad I did it, but man it is hard on the hands. The thought of doing it on an old-school bike it terrifying .

I regularly ride this both directions and enjoy very much. If you like windy singletrack with punchy climbs this is it. Much harder when wet.

Wow! Truly epic! Long steep and sustained technical trail. It’s definitely on the harder side of a black diamond trail, but nothing crazy if you scope the lines before dropping in.

Works great as a decent trail if don't fancy riding the lower janky chunder of Beaver Pass. However watch for climber's priority.

It's classified as a black diamond on the signage, and lives up to that expectation....if you're up for a gut-bustin' heart-pumpin' challenge, choose this trail.

Tough climb. Recommend taking a different way to the flank.

An easy trail along the power lines that weaves back and forth.

Don't ride it in reverse (North to South) or you're gonna have a bad time. Trail is built for South to North travel, despite the label of both directions.

Its definitely not a blue run! Its very rocky and has steep bits in it. At the start of the trail its classified as a black trail! We enjoyes taking our bike for a walk on bits. Good views though!

There's a few exposed sections on the down hill side. Don't fall off. Rode it down for the first time today, Feels like it would be a pretty tough slog going up.

A fun narrow single track climb with a good pitch and a few breaks in the right spots where it mellows out for a bit. Great views too make this an enjoyable way to get up to the Flank from the North.

Trail A Cut Above
Nice work everyone concerned! I do have a question....why is this primarily an uphill/climbing trail? I would have assumed it was more of a descent trail. Why would a trail climb up to a more difficult trail (Beaver Pass) that is primarily heading downhill? It doesn't seem logical to climb up A Cut Above, only to ride the last half of Beaver Pass. Or am I missing something? Thanks again for building new trails!

it's a return route back into Stonebridge if you come down Wizard, or via Rebob/27 Switchbacks if one was headed south, it's just a quicker route back up to get back to the goods. It joins with Beaver Pass just below the top and it's an easy pedal to Stonebridge Drive where you can hit Danimal south or back into 99'er, or back up to Flank.
