Slow technical trail with tight turns and rocky drops. Some of the roots and rocks are really tight and require some skill to not get stuck in, or hit with big suspension and speed.
This is a fun glade in the winter. You can continue straight until it ends, which will require you to drop down off of some mountain equipment onto the Outback ski trail, or you can make a hard right at Blue Pulaski, do a bit of uphill pushing, and cross Riva Ridge into The Beast glade. Easy-black difficulty, in the winter.
