A very fun, relatively short, loamy trail which has flowy sections as well as steep and challenging sections with tight corners. Always a fun trail to link up into Hind Sight. Worth the climb and a good trail in most conditions.

Access Info

It's right next to the big electrical building off of the microwave road.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Probably my favourite trail in the whole whistler valley.

      Was a bit blown out last time I rode it. May be best to leave be in wet weather to increase its life expectancy.

      Lives up to its name.

      Best when linked up with hi-hi and high side
      B-Rough
      A little wet in spots but overall in good condition

      Perfect trail conditions, even a bit dry now.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
