      Best downhill blue in the Saint Donat area, in my opinion.

      Super fun! Rocky yet flowy descent, worth climbing back up for a 2nd lap

      Trail vraiment cool et rapide! On lâche les brakes et ça flow rapide! Juste faire attention à deux virages serrés qui bénéficieraient de l'ajout de "berms" Bravo! Hâte de voir la fin.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
