Trail Dogs is a blue flow trail with jumps, berms, rollers and more. It is a ton of fun for all riders This is an easier option to Contra but still be sure to do an initial Pre-ride and Re-ride before you Free-ride / send it.

The portion below Contra opened in 2021 and in 2024 the upper portion paralleling Contra was completed. It can be ridden from the top or accessed from the switchback in the road at the bottom of Contra.

The trail was named in honour of Pippa, and all the good dogs who get excited when you put your helmet on, who shred harder than us, and whose love and joy make every ride special. We love you trail dogs.

Access Info

For self propelled access take Up Dog from the bottom. You can get onto Trail Dogs 1/3 of the way up where Contra ends or continue to the very top. It is possible to shuttle but the road is steep and rough with very limited space to turn around at the top. Please don't leave a vehicle parked at the top as there just isn't much space.
