A fun fast downhill trail.

Starts mellow with some open single track and small drops. Nothing mandatory here.
Drops into a magic forest with some mellow table top jumps (10-15')

Typical Vail black diamond. If you have a big bike and are a decent rider, this isn't anything too difficult.

      LOL. Build your DH trails on the actual down side of the hills. $80/day for this?

      Best DH trail in Vail in my opinion! Good jumps mixed with fast tech riding
