A brand new downhill trail on Morrisey. Fast and flowy, with small tables, rollers, bridges and other fun features, as well as plenty of optional side hits, stump gaps, and doubles if you want more air time.

The trail starts narrower and a bit more technical at the top, before an easier final section with tons of flow. It's split into 3 distinct sections by road crossings that connect it with Cedar Twist, which allows you to ride the middle and/or lower sections as a smaller loop if you're short on time.

The name is a nod to the Calypso Orchids that the crew discovered throughout the forest while scouting out this line. Funding for this trail was provided by the BC Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Program and Tourism Sun Peaks.

Access Info

When you arrive at the top of Morrisey on Cedar Twist, head towards the top of the chairlift. The trail starts on rider's right of the lift terminal behind the ski run sign.
