Rock faces, steep chutes, gnarly roots... North Mountains most challenging DH. A few ride-arounds are available for the most difficult features.

Agree with above. After riding out of the blue I was surprised by the amount of flow in this trail. Id say it’s easier overall than OOTB but with a handful of more consequential features (most offer ride around options) that bring this trail up to double black rating

The trail name is a reference to The Price Is Right and it's host Bob Barker, who was born in Darrington.

While "Showcase Showdown" is a super lame name, the trail is b*tching with some good moves. I wouldn't say it is any harder than Jackpot, just different.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
