Super fun machine built flow trail under the Stache Lift. A wide trail built for all ability levels that loosely follows the upper portion of the original Emma Jean trail. Full of features that can be rolled or sent Beginners to experts will enjoy this feature loaded gem. Ride up Balsam Route and take either Upper Emma Jean or cut up the fire road to just before the top of Stache. To repeat, head back up the fire road adjacent to the run and hit again or cross over to Scrimps and Prima Donna for a classic RLM down loop. *Recommendation: If you like to get air then start a couple hundred feet up the hill towards the Stache lift to have enough speed for the first double*

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.
