Egg Salad is a downhill trail packed with variety: loam, bench-cut corners, rock rollers, and an optional advanced A-line that dives down a rough, junky ledge. The main line flows with big swooping turns and steady features to keep you on your toes. Be ready when you reach the ledge section — things tighten up and demand more control, but remain approachable unless you commit to the A-line to the right at the bottom. With a 15–20 minute loop time, Egg Salad is perfect for quick laps, or a shot of adrenaline mid-ride when linking into bigger adventures around town.
