Year Opened2017
This is the more refined younger sibling to middle and lower Inducer. Built by our trail crew in 2017, it is in the same style as the rest of Inducer but with a bit more polish in the corners. A few steeper pitches to keep you on your toes and one steep corner that is good training for the three similar corners on lower Inducer.

Kootenay Blue but wheels on ground the whole way. Super fun steep trail with lots of twisty corners. Had a blast! You guys rock!

Trail is in great shape, kudos to the builders! This trail should be a black though, a true blue rider will be walking these steep tight turns. We rode it in ideal conditions. The advanced riders had a big smile on their faces!!

Can confirm. Still steep. Was outside my comfort zone so I rode back over to True Blue which was a blast to ride.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
