A mix of gap jumps, drops, steeps, narrow sections and berms. This trail requires a wider skill set than other trails on this side of the hill and I would recommend checking all features before you ride them the first time, however in general it is not overly difficult/high risk aside from the signposted stump gap jump which is optional

This trail is unsanctioned.
