From Snowbowl: "This trail is 95% downhill from the top of Grizzly to the base and the fastest way down.
Some parts are tricky with steep switchbacks, so check your brakes and watch for water bars."
Quick and racey but with plenty of gravel to make sure you keep your speed in check. Fun for speed and smooth riding, and jumping off the water bars.
Access Info
After getting off Grizzly Lift, follow the signs for High Roller.
