This trail is now open as of September 2020. Counter clockwise you will find a fast, flowy downhill with a few features to launch from. From the bottom, you'll have a a climb mostly through trees with a bit more technicality than the downhill. Going clockwise you will have a twister, a little steeper, slightly more technical descent with some drops and alter lines for climbing or less experienced riders. The climb back out is in the sun and feels longer and more drawn out, but both directions are good and have slightly different characters.
