Snake Bite DH is a steep twisty rocky run down Radio Hill and features many shoot rides, rock gardens, tight turns, precise lines, optional gaps and drops. Snake Bite is a more traditional DH trail than Whoopdie Doo DH, and is a great warmup for remembering lines, stability in chunky sections, conservation of speed, and commitment. This trail can be ridden by most hardtails and people new to DH, and can also be enjoyed by more skilled riders looking to train for enduro and DH races. The trail can be clatterey on some hardtails so a more soft setup is recommended.

Access Info

Shuttle drop-off is the start of Radio Road, cruise down radio hill and procced up a steep but short climb, once arriving at the top, turn to the right to face a hump flanked by two small gumtrees and a large piece of concrete debris, thats it.
