Probably the easiest trail in the park. A whole lot of berm goodness connected by open straights lines to pick up a bit of speed if wanted. Beginner and family friendly. Makes a good warm up lap and great to gain a bit of confidence to build up for the more demanding trails. A quick and easy 10 minutes pedal up the DH climb brings you to the start of this one. Enjoy
