After a short wooded section, the Back Trail opens up onto the ski hill and there are some smooth rock slabs sections and a few technical rough rocky sections. Enjoy a nice view of Pen Lake as you ride. Keep your speed up to cross the final grassy bit of the hill back into the woods before reconnecting to the end of the HV Green Trail Part C.

This trail can take until June 1st to dry up in the spring and closes November 1st for ski hill operations
