Snake Bite Ridge connects from Mikey's into the lower portion of "the tech part" where the trail then finishes at the base of the cub mountain trails (power station road). The trail gets its name due to the roots, stumps, square edged and sharp rocks that demand riders use correct tire pressures - or else can likely experience a double pinch flat, commonly known as a "snake bite" . Part of the trail is also along a ridge, providing great views of Corner Brook.
