Magnificent, beautiful and fun tech trail with some good flow off the top of Newsflash. Ride this down as a way into Lumpy's DH for a technical descent or up as a great climb to get into Pioneer, Cookie Cutter or K2.

Access Info

Typically accessed from the top of Newsflash, turn right to get to Pioneer, turn left and after a short climb drop into the Lumpy's DH
