Year Opened2023
This newly created extension brings Firebreak to the upper staging area. "Firebreak" is an advanced downhill trail with an “old school” feeling.
Aimed as close to fall line as deemed sustainable, your brakes will certainly be hating you after you drop into this trail. Steep, technical and puckering are three words to express Firebreak.
