Year Opened2023
New addition for 2023. Fully handbuild with ETA volunteers. The first half is flatter, and the second half is narrow and non-stop down with little berm and roots. Combined with Turtle Power it makes a fun down option. More challenging than Turtle Power.

Trail is brand new, the dirt is powder; take it easy and ride with extreme caution as it all sets up.
