Land OwnerJon Schaefer
Narrow trail more like classic MTB, with lots of rocks and roots. Some tight turns through the forest. The trail starts to become more like a modern trail with berms and engineered rock drops.
Most of this trail is skiable in the winter, and is a fun glade run that throws various challenges at you. Starting off narrow with zero room to stray from the line, it later opens up into a widely-spaced, steeper glade that concludes by dropping you off a small cliff and onto the Hawleywood MTB trail (which can then be used to ski back to base .... 2 of the jumps are airable on skis). You will encounter a few small rock drops and fun skiable berms. Single diamond difficulty in the winter.

Technical, steppy, and rooty. I think this might be my favorite trail on the mountain. I loved diving down each gnarly little step and catching a little bit of backside on each one. It has a techy flow to it. Super fun!

8/21 last run, Cameron led out, wicked gnar rocky, definitely tipped over slash bailed a couple times there is a rock hump at some
Point in the second half that you definitely need a little speed to defend. I tipped over with reverse pedals
