Featherlys is a high speed downhill flow trail. It is the next step up from Leapfrog, but doesn't have some of the technical features that Sector 12 has. High speed, big berms, and some big jumps are sure to make this trail a favorite But be ware, you will want to be ready to "feather" your brakes as you descend this ripping trail!

      putting the mid in Midwest MTB. like most of Giant's Ridge, the building is awkward. Consecutive features requiring totally different speed. Loose corners to rob momentum before the bigger jumps. Awkward transitions everywhere. It all looks good from the chairlift, but doesn't actually work in practice.

      Super fast flow. Definitely a group favorite!
