      Really good. You don’t need to go over the little jumps if you don’t want but they less than 1 foot high. Flows really nice, but short. Would be a great area if there were. Few more runs to do.

      Nice but with a few deep wet puddles and some stone drop offs with sharp edges. Running good really.
