Land OwnerCapital Regional District
Well built DH style trail with optional ride arounds for all bigger features. Very fast, loose, and technical trail with great flow. Two larger drops with jumps directly after each, good rock descents, and technical corners.
Access Info
Use the Zig Zag push up trail off of the Sooke Mountain Park Rd. It's a moderately long, steep hike up, but it is well worth it.
