    Jump, Skinny, Teeter Totter

This trail features large gap jumps and skinny lines. All the jumps and log rides are optional, hence only the single black rating for the trail. If you are doing the gaps, its definitely a double black. Large gaps with high consequence.

      This was my favorite drop/jump trail (despite its recent jankyness) but the bottom features have all been destroyed to make way for the new Poacher trail. I’m a bit bummed to see an accessible solid single black drop/jump trail (very rare in Squamish!) be replaced by a pros-only line. I know, I know, call a whambulance, eat some cheese with my whine, yadda yadda. (I do like watching the big boys hit poacher it’s sick)

      should be a double black imo, there’s a big wooden drop with no ride around

      Definitely a double black if you're sending the gaps !
      So much fun
