Land Owner
The gnarliest trail at Snowshoe Lower Hairball is super rocky and steep with tight turns and often loose rocks. This trail contains some sketchy optional lines and rock drops that come up quick and require commitment. It's a serious rock garden the entire way down the first half. Where it begins to flatten out prior to the fire road crossing, there is a big rock you can drop off of (ride around to right, drop is about 3.5 feet) called Roberto's Rock. After this huck to flat you cross a fire road and drop into the final, trickiest rock garden on the track before dropping onto the ski slope. After a flat pedal, you drop back down in the trees into the "supercross" section containing large whoops which can be doubled or tripled. This trail was part of the world cup course.
Access Info
After Upper Hare Ball or Lower Pro DH, stay right at the intersection.
