Super fun descent and an obvious downhill trail that's usually ruined by people riding it uphill to skip EKG East! Weak.
I've met groups as big as 8 people climbing this trail making absolutely no noise though the berms and blind turns, nice job cancelling a descent for someone as they wait for your huge group to pass.

FYI is worth your buck. Unlike most trails at the Nordic center which f-u-c-k-i-n-g suck...this trail is fun. You also don't have to work like a pig to get to it. It's such a shame that no one at nordic can design something worth the work. It's just a bunch of hard f*cking work on shitty terrain that never utilizes the mass of mountain it f*cking sits on.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
