runs like moon dust, slacker bikes beware of easy washouts and lack of grip on corners. fun drops and some jumps to fill in the blanks.

This trail is no joke, but it's probably the easiest double black at Northstar. There's a B-line for the drop but the drop is not bad (good run in and landing).

Pretty technical with drops and rock roll. Roots and stones keep you focused the whole way down
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
