Bad Ass Downhill.

If you have a saw, this trail needs it BADLY right now. Large blowdown near the bottom of the hill, and it needs to be cleared to unlock the full fast and fun potential of this trail. For now, take the Narrow Alt Downhill to bypass the fall.

      		 There is now a ride around, to avoid the large blowdown that's still on this trail. Plenty of leaves and frozen mud.
