Has early start option that forks off 49er, last corner before the first road crossing. Cross the FSR and drops in just beside Moosehead. Peels away along the northerly face, before coming back to the parking area with some steeper sections and snappy corners to keep you on your toes.

      Nice trail, but the last 3 wooden features/jump are weirdly shaped. Too slow and you nose dive, too fast and your landing is in the bush off the trail
