A ripping section of downhill, that can be taken entirely too fast. Starts with some steep but well built switchbacks, transitions into some flowy sidehill amidst logging operations, and finishes with a supreme section of banks and rollers. Can also be ridden uphill, but watch out for downhill traffic who may be mobbing it.

      Snowline is 6400 feet. The trail still needs to have hazard trees removes and all winter storm damage assessed and repaired.
