Often cited as the toughest trail on the mountain to clean, Upper Vic's is extremely steep, natural and very technical. Many tight corners into rooty/rocky chutes will challenge your slow speed abilities. Things become exceptionally tricky when there is moisture on the roots or gravel in the chutes. Expect little to nothing in the way of ride-arounds. Good luck

This trail is unsanctioned.
