      Such an amazing trail!!! Really fast and flowy, the builders and definitely good at their job, if you go on Ontario run in the winter you can go into the trees and ski on it, I even clear some of the jumps on skis, but I must say this trail is so much better on a bike. I ok boy complaint is that there aren’t any trail signs right now, which made some intersections with other trails confusing, however this makes sense as they are preparing for the ski season and need to take most signage down so skiers aren’t confused. Most of the time your going like 20mph, so you have just the right amount of speed for practically all of the jumps, like I said it is just so well built

      Great trail! The first part is definitely not a black though. They need to change there signage.
