      Fast. That’s it. Super big berms to start, then some awesome fast tech into the hemlocks. From there, you got tight fast loose loam that drops you next to hardstyle trail gap, then it dumps you into bermsalot with a step down into a ski trail and a step up onto the beginning of bermsalot as the cherry on top.
