Starting from the same saddle as Hard Money near the summit of Maryland Mountain, Fast Money is a beginner-friendly intermediate trail bike-only downhill trail (try saying that 3 times fast). It starts out steep and fast and after crossing Easy Money it becomes more windy and playful with plenty of side hits that will keep all riders entertained.

      		 Large tree down across trail, blocking trail and a lot of snow on the top 2/3 of Hard Money. Easy Money and the surrounding area seemed rideable.
