This trail offers a bit of flow and root technical riding where line choice is important. It is best ridden from the entrance nearest McCabes Loop, but can be ridden both directions. This is a short but challenging trail, that is certainly worth trying if you are up for it.

 Groomed squeaky snow. Needs a warm day followed by a freeze, but still good. Some icy patches so studs are recommended.
