Fun flowy downhill trail. Lots of berms and table top jumps. All the jumps are beginner friendly and are easy to ride over if you don't want to jump them. Very smooth trail, rocks are almost not existent, until the very bottom section.

      As of 9/20/20 the whole trail is open and tons of fun. Well crafted jumps and flowy berms make this trail a treat. It is getting loose and dusty, but there is still plenty of grip. A few braking bumps but that’s to be expected at the end of the season!

      Jump and berms galore! So much fun! As of 8/13/2019 the section of NPR that meets with Emerald Meadow and Blackmere drive is closed due to construction in the area. Simply take Emerald Meadow a short ways down and jump back onto NPR, right where the ski lift dumps out.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
