Cinder tracks underneath the Gondola and winds through Loon Mountain Park – appropriately highlighted with features that mimic those seen in winter. (Spoiler Alert: Check out the hip on the backside of the Superpipe drop-in.) It finishes with steep and deep berms that duck through the trees eventually dropping you back into Mainline.
