A fun trail with some steep, fun turns at the start and some fast off camber riding down low. Links up with Prima Donna at the end to the ski area base village. Connect this with Willow Creek and Palisades, or Nichols Creek for an incredible ride.
From Balsam Route use the RLM service road or Upper Emma Jean to get to the start of the trail.

Fun downhill! There’s been some effort put into the trail. It qas well maintained, had nice flow, banked turns … fun

I really enjoyed this trail. Once you get up to the real top of it, you can almost make do without pedalling til the bottom, but it’s more fun at speed. It felt like a beginner’s enduro course.

Pretty raw trail, lots of cut off stumps and off camber sections. Definitely not beat up or broken in, and as of July 2023 there’s quite a bit of soft sections on this trail. Short. Entertaining.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
