This trail is really a mixed bag of difficult rock sections, some double up jumps and table tops. The rock gardens all have some intermediate lines that can be taken, except maybe one that is tight through the trees. Very challenging in several spots to not get your wheel trapped. The jumps at the end must be taken with speed and can boost you pretty high. It is right under the lift. There are lips on the table tops, so you land kinda hard if you don't make it to the other side.

There are some fun little woodwork sections, like a roller coaster and a few places you can jump off. Right in the middle of the trail is an optional rock drop that sends you over rocks onto a bit of wood work then right into a hard left-hand berm. There is an easier optional line to the right. Check the jump for conditions and landing before taking it.

      By far the best trail on the mountain, excluding the double blacks.
