This freeride descent is packed with features, designed so beginners can roll the jumps while experienced riders can get some serious air. Experience Turbulence as you drop in, feel the speed through the Corkscrew and explode out of the Bombhole before lining up for the final approach. If it's your first time, we recommend checking out the features on foot before riding them.

Starts at the end of the singletrack cannonball run section. You can also reach this point by forest road.

Freeride style descent. Includes table-tops, drop-offs, a bombhole and large bermed corners.

      Definitely not a black trail -- red at most.

      The recent revisions have been dramatic. All 3 downhill trails are much better resolved, with jumps and features for novice and advanced riders to practice on.
