A Rossland, cross country classic is a showcase for intermediate mountain biking and a great spin around Monte Cristo Mountain. Techno Grind packs a lot into its short loop – short rock slabs, rooty forest floors, mild uphills, and quick, punchy descents that will have you wishing for more. It is a popular, multi-use trail. Super fun in either direction. Clockwise is a fast choppy descent followed by a meandering climb. Counter-clockwise is a fast twisty rip through loamy forest followed by a stiff climb.

Access Info

Access from Drifter and Monte Christo Road (clockwise), or KC (counter-clockwise).

      70% covered in snow from monte cristo the stardust turnoff today. Give it a week or so.

      Great nice and flowy singletrack with a bit of technical climbs - love how trails in Rossland have these technical sections. Great trail to prepare you for some more rough stuff with the Full Monte. Nicely built trail!
      Metric-MrShades
      A fun combination of flowy singletrack, short tech climbs, soft lome, and loose rock for some great variety. There is a section between the Stardust jct and Techno plus jct that is more of a hiking trail trying to be past-off as for biking but be patient, gets really good again.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
