Deep Bluff is the Bluff's newest line. An enjoyable climb from the top of Meanstreak is a hoot on the way down with berms, little lips and a rock face. Or from the top, you can now ride over to Dahlie Creek and up to Nervous Shakedown. Deep Bluff allows large all mountain laps by connecting to or from Broken Axe, or for the downhill inclined a different access to get Nervous. This trail also provides access to tonnes of new terrain for the SMBA's continued Bluff Expansion project.

Disclaimer

Note that the lower section of Deep Bluff will be closed from August 26th to 30th, 2024 for trail building with machine and hand crews. Access to the picnic table will only be possible from the Broken Axe side.
