Land Owner
This is an incredibly fun trail that starts off with a jump into a huge step down that you can send to the moon if you’d like. Then it dips down into the trees and straight into a 6 foot rock drop (ride around to left and right) and into a rock with a small 1.5 foot drop on the other end. Carry on further it gets a little steep and chunky with a few rock drops scattered here and there before it eventually meets up with Pro DH. Overall a very fun trail and arguably the best trail there
Access Info
Go down Judi chop and then go straight instead of taking ninja bob. Continue straight.

They’ve made some changes to Upper Hare Ball this year. They built up the lip on the step down after Judi Chop ends. Nothings changed about the first rock drop but the second smaller rock drop has been made larger and a gap has been put into it.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
