Exiting off the left side of Featherlys near the top, this trail is an advanced technical style trial. At the start of the trail, a split allows for choice of an easier or more difficult rock roll. Then the trail winds through tight berms on a steep slope, a perfect place to skid your own line through the trees. From there the trail winds through a flowy gully filled with jumps and hits before finishing off with a pick-your-own-line rock garden.
