Land OwnerDBCA
Contortionist is a technical step-up for XC riders, offering a narrower, more natural feel than the park's larger flow lines.
With a minimal trail footprint and smaller, hand-built berms, this blue-rated descent rewards precision over pure speed. Riders will need to stay sharp through the off-camber sections and flat corners that will have you wishing for extra grip.
The trail concludes with a fast, "twitchy" climb and one final blast through the pines. A perfect choice for those who prefer a more traditional, "raw" Pemberton singletrack experience.
