Ramming Speed drops into the ski area trail named "Lost Trail" and is a downhill only trail. This fun natural trail with several switchbacks that drop steeply into the fall-line, combined with some technical rocks that must be navigated may cause less experienced riders to walk several sections of this trail. Not recommended for inexperienced riders.
