      Seems like every resort has an old trail like this that refuses to die. Maybe someone’s favourite trail. Should be part of a xc network. Would be great to see a better blue going back to the parking area.

      It was alright for getting to mid mountain, if your looking an xc style downhill it's perfect, if your looking for fun dh riding definitely avoid.

      Fully old school, like 26" from 15 years ago.
