Steep and fast with tons of rocks. This trail is a rowdy descent, a bit more difficult than Greens Greek, but ends quicker. If you are deciding between the two, go with Greens Creek trail

      		 Trail is in decent shape. Lots of mud and a sporty snow cornice drop in at the top! One tree down after the first steep section.

       Super fun, flowy-chunky tech. Would definitely do this one again.

       It’s alright. It’s more of a blue/black. Entry is steep but after that intermediate. Too many short flats and ups to really have the flow of a sustained descent. Roots and rocks make it fun but nothing black worthy. Bottom 1/3 the trail is a lot wider and loses singletrack feel and becomes pretty flat.
