Great ride today with clear and well groomed trails. One tree down across Skyline between two jumps near the intersection of Skyline and Middle Run.

Open as last week, though a nice lad was busy laying down some fresh dirt so we didn't ride the lower jumps.

This is a fun trail with something for anyone intermediate and above. There are ride arounds for all the tech features. Careful on the table tops if you decide to launch them. There is one near the bottom that can draw you toward a tree. You can exit that table to the left or right of the tree.

Awesome trail with technical rock features in the beginning. Good speed after the initial drop with plenty of opportunity to catch air, especially during lower A.
