Super loose and slippery entry in the steep chute. Mellows out after that. Requires some pedaling and pedal strikes are very possible.

      The top is pretty gnarly and some people walk the first 50 yards but it's totally doable if you keep your vision in check and don't go off Trail. The rest of the trail is super fun and challenging one of the harder blacks at bootleg but super fun and a total blast

      Kinda a “backcountry” feel right at Bootleg. The best downhill trail at Bootleg that isn’t on the true DH section of the mountain.

      Top section is loose but traction is managable.
      Similar to Skyline but better due to lack of punchy climbs.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
