Popular route to session Shangri-La, good times all-round.

Begins with a demanding climb up Steinhoe (Spring Creek) trail, at times technical. Take the second junction left onto Lichen Loop, the climb continues over some chunky bits. Enjoy the view at the top just before dropping into the main event, Shangri-La churns you through epic flow, steep slab, and optional hits before spitting out onto the last few turns of Hey Bear Turn left at first junction to LaLa Valley trail, check speed here as it's the access trail for Hey Bear! From here it's just smooth cool-down roll back to the parking lot.

Cedar that was across the trail just past the first rocky rest stop has been removed. Trail still covered in lots of snow and ice.
