Mt. Cartier Upper

Did the heli drop. Couple of trees down along the way. One spot had multiple trees down at the same spot so it took some muscle and teamwork to get the bikes through. Other than that, the trail was great and ripping fast in some spots. The bridge at the end was in good shape but the trail immediately goes into a very steep climb that was fully washed out and extremely difficult to push the bikes across. The mosquitos at the bridge crossing were unbearable. Bring bug spray to help while muscling through the washed out climb. Wouldn't do this trail solo.

definitely a must trail in revy, one of the best trail, good mix of different style of riding. super narrow traversing to tight switchback at the top, then thru the wood more technical but still flowly. fast flowly section on a traverse. we did it in about 1h15min with a few quick stops, for intermediate or expert rider only, it's a long way down.

Alpine ridge has very tight switchbacks. A little further down you can fly really fast, but if you catch your pedal while in attack position you can get sent of the hillside! Then through the forest all the way until the abandoned cabin it is root chute heaven. YOU MUST HAVE SINTERED BRAKES and adequate forearm and tricep strength or you'll end up walking most gnar sections. From the cabin to the waterfall at the bottom its hillside flow track they can get really narrow at points, with extreme hillside drop offs. I'll caveat these comments by saying we were dropped by helicopter into a thunder hailstorm, and it made all trails, rocks, roots instantly 40% more difficult.
Basically if you don't fall hard at some point, you didn't do it right ????
