DFO is the Arboretum’s versatile "all-rounder" descent, featuring a minimal-build aesthetic and a blend of different trail styles.

It’s a bit of everything: not quite a dedicated jump line, yet peppered with airtime opportunities; not quite a pure technical trail, but featuring enough natural "tech" to keep you honest.

With its reactive flow and varied features, it’s the ideal choice for riders who want a balanced, unpredictable run that tests both their positioning and their speed.

A great "palette cleanser" between the high-speed flow and heavy jump lines.
