      Tremendous job getting this area reopened after the logging. It’s riding as well or better than it ever has and the new rock feature being built looks like it’s going to be fantastic. Thank you, MRR crew!

      If you are descending through this zone towards the Maple trails, this will be the "easiest way down" and also the only way that avoids a total grunt of a climb out of the powerline area. The A-line (clearly marked on your left when descending) is fun and worth taking for more technical riders. The B-Line ensures that more mellow riders will enjoy this trail.

      Fantastic challenge to climb this one. Finally made it up the very last rooty bit that connects to Pusherman / Swell Hill. I used to think all this stuff wasn't doable until I started challenging myself to climb more and this trail is a pretty perfect climbing challenge. As they recommend you can go from the bottom of Catamount, up Techie, then up this trail and you probably would be pretty tired by the end of that!

      Also it's not on TF but look up "Bitches Brew" on the Mad River Riders trail description page because it's one of the most fun downhills around here - more challenging than Race or Ridgie downhill.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
