Awesome trail! If you’ve not road snow before like me, its hard! The first part is so steep, you can only put your feet down either side and just sort of sled down on your bike, but bloody worth it! Amazing views and mix terrain... snow to start then rock, then more Rock, some more rock after that and then grassy earth and then more rock.
