This trail, formerly known as "Easy Rider", was upgraded and redesigned by Gravity Logic as an intermediate flow trail. It features very fun step-up's, rock features, step downs and some boardwalks. It is super fun to ride and helps build confidence to move up to expert level trails. The trail spends most of its time in the forested sections between the meadow ski runs. With the excellent 2014 reroute improvements, this is mostly a new trail.

      Awesome blue trail with small jumps, large catch berms, and beautiful views of the Aspen trees. I'm an intermediate rider and enjoyed riding this trail as a warmup. You can definitely take a beginner on here. There's hardly any rocks and no mandatory jumps. I have a full video of the trail on YouTube if you want to check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9Y4HWkuUPs&t=176s
