This trail is multi-directional, but it is a really fun downhill. Several rooty sections and a couple technical rocky sections with big embedded rocks. There used to be a steep gully, but it is been rerouted to keep the trail flowing well. Little air out sections most natural, one little one at the bottom as well.

Access Info

You can access this trail from the resort using the To Creekside Trail or do the full pedally route using Pioneer starting from the top.

      Rode pioneer and creekside. Creekside has a bit of fast tech, loved it. Heard there was mandatory air on Flying Diamond, so went with this and absolutely loved it. Eleventy stars. Would ride again.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
