Year Opened2025
North Corner is a blue rated (More Difficult), tech-flow style trail. Notable trail features include: rollers, berms and optional gap jumps, drops, skinnies, and a wall ride.
When Martin Cohn moved to Canada, he changed his name to Martin Nordegg—roughly translated to “north corner” in German. Fitting name for a trail that kicks off at the summit and heads north, serving up adventure and beauty as you travel down and around the mountain.

Cool trail with lots of variety and lots of really cool wood features including a wall ride. If you're on a DH bike then save this for your last lap and take the access road at the end instead of the green trail. Also watch out for the gate at the bottom of the road.

I could do this trail every day for the rest of my life.

Fantastic trail with endless jump for the first couple kilometers. After having climbed from the parking lot to this trailhead I didn’t have much gas left for the cross country ride around the mountain at the end. Be warned it’s a bit uphill for the last 20-30 mins.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
