Australia’s first flow down trail begins either at Northside Discovery Centre or from the Arlberg Hotel, snaking its way down the Shaky Knees ski run. Large deep berms pump riders out and over sections of rock armoring. The trail descends past the Alpine Central through a number of switch backs before joining the Home Trail and then it’s final plunge through a number of fun and flowy corners, over a bridge and finishing at the Chalet Creek mid-station of the Northside Express Chairlift.
