A flowy, berm-heavy blue, fully refreshed in summer 2026. Think guac at Gabriel's: fresh, and plenty of mole to go around.

Machine-built and moderate, with berms, tabletops, and rollable doubles strung together. Side hits and optional jumps let riders get as playful or rowdy as they like, and a couple of optional black lines add technical spice.

Originally built in 2017, with enhancements and new sections added that fall. You'll reach the bottom saying the trail's name out loud.

Erosion from recent rain is minimal, however there are sections and banked turns that are muddy (slick).

      Wow, they (Glorietta) have really done an amazing rebuild on this trail. It's now longer than Chips-n-Salsa and far more fun. Tons of chutes, jumps, drops, big berms, and jump-to-berms (You'll understand when you ride it).

      Hole Molé is open and now a jump line! Fast and flowy. If you want more of the old feel of Holy Molé, Snack Pack is a fun trail to go down.

      Great trail! But a little beat up. I thiught I was gonna pop a tire on the washboard rutts in the berms.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
