The gnarliest chute out of the mid station. Slip and slide in wet conditions…

Steep and Rocky at the top, sketchy and definitely a black diamond up there. Second half is fast if you can hold on

      Very committing, steep and loose corners at the start. All doable though. Then it becomes easier although some loose moraine like riding a bit lower down. A really well built trail with stunning views
