    Berm

Bi-Directional trail with some fun berms and plenty of flow. Mainly used as a climb, this is a fun descent if you keep an eye open for those on their way up. Combine with EKG East, Ziggy's, Backdoor, Laundry Chutes, etc for some fun close-to-the-parking lot loops.

      This trail would be amazing if there was a dedicated uptrack and it was downhill only. Why make such nice berms on a trail then make it the only way up? You just go downhill to yeild all the time to uphill traffic

      Yet again a perfect example of wtf on this app OR the nordic center is just horrifically designed. Killer bees would be one of the better runs at nordic but here we go again with these *unts telling you to bike UP a track when it's really obvious you should be going the opposite way. Too bad there's no good way to get to it. For anyone who doesn't understand Nordic center definitions yet...
      Cross country (have fun going uphill pussy)
      Technical (our trails are the roughest you could imagine)
      Full suspension (did we mention we have the worst terrain possible)

      Great little trail. Easy going up and nice and flowy going down.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
