Soft, natural trail that isn't ridden very often. Great easy alternative to SGS, and connects well onto Slippery Canoe. Some uphill at the start, and towards the middle of the trail. There is also a steep descent near the end with multiple line options that either go straight down the middle, or snake around through tight corners. Some natural rock rolls, but very little in the way of ladder bridges or man-made features.

Access Info

Starts after the initial climb on SGS, where you can turn left to stay on SGS, keep going straight to ride Antagonizer. To your right is an exit of an SGS alternative line that starts higher up on Blind Skier.

This trail is unsanctioned.

reporter Couple trees down on the steep bits, but easy to stop for and get around/over. No more than 12". Crunchy and snowy up top (but rideable).
