This starts with the original "most down, with the least up" route and adds some extra single track at the beginning. notably outerloops north and south and gold mine.

This route gives you 3 fast down hill runs, with a minimal amount of climbing. Climb Fun Loop to Trail 6 to Levitate. Connect to Big T/ Black Bear Hideout and then take a right onto your first downhill, Mid Mountain. At the end of the Mid Mountain, a short climb back up to the second downhill, Run Noot. Run Noot is non-technical and should be considered a Green going downhill but has lot of rock features on the edge of the trail if you want to get some air. Continue straight at the end of Run Noot and Climb back up the last part of Levitate again to the last downhill, North Face. Take North Face all the way to the road, make a right on 23 for a short road ride to the parking lot.
