Easiest double black at Northstar. Most features have ride arounds. Pro Lines are difficult. Very loose and dusty.

one of my favs at Nstar

Pretty technical with drops and rock roll. Roots and stones keep you focused the whole way down

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).
