Canyons Bike Park trail. Fun flow trail with no mandatory gaps, but plenty of optional ones. A much better descent than Mid-Mountain trail if your working your way South on mid-mountian.

This trail is unsanctioned.

 Some features need TLC. The side trail, Split Decision, is also good, but needs some TLC. One downed tree with a jump over it, but no bypass.

 Getting a bit loose from lack of traffic but Dropkick lives! Two downed trees, the second is right by the exit to short cut

 Two trees down now. One in the middle. Anyone have an e-bike and a chainsaw?

 Only 1 down tree at the end

 No maintenance and a harsh winter means this one is close to being lost forever. Deadfall and heavy overgrowth. Either the people reclaim it...

      Multiple downed trees across the trail and the wooden wall ride/ bridge is damaged. Trail will need some clean up before it’s rideable again.

      Still rips. Hit this on a Saturday afternoon with ZERO traffic. Good flow trail with tables, wood and rock features. I rode up Holly’s which is a bit strenuous but once you get to drop kick, it’s quite easy to take a few laps with mid mountain.

      Still rips though. Might need a saw got fallen trees and vail employee log placements
