      Yep, definitely not great. Starts off with a long ride down a ski hill, then into the trees, but pretty heavily overgrown with vegetation, a lot of flat/uphill sections, and no real flow. Also still has a large tree fallen across part of the trail with a poor man’s workaround. Maybe more fun on an Enduro bike, but kinda garbage on a DH bike.

      Has potential but as mentioned before - very unusual lap, overgrown and fallen trees on the track. Needs a lot of TLC

      Overgrown mess, not as much flow as other tech trails on the mountain. I’d ride other trails before getting into this one.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
