RATING: |
Beginner Trails: |
Trail 19 is an excellent new beginner trail, with well-made berms and rollers but only lift accessed from Snowshead Express on the weekends. On the downside green trails on the big mountain are gravel road and sometimes steep. |
|
Intermediate Trails: |
The vast majority of the trail network is suitable for all-mountain or enduro bikes. Mostly single-track DH variety. |
|
Advanced Trails: |
No big hits or large drops, but some steep technical options |
|
Technical trails: |
Most trails were technical with roots and rocks. |
|
Flow/jump trails: |
There are a few, but not that long of a trail and only with small features. |
|
Trail variety: |
Many of the trails can be ridden on Enduro bikes. Iconic Freeride features are lacking, while full-on DH can be found. We didn’t get to sample any XC offerings. |
|
Trail Conditions: |
The maintained trails were in good condition. |
|
Trail signposting: |
Not that apparent off the top of the mountain, but were sufficient to avoid dropping below base of K1 lift and avoiding a push up. Some intersections were not consistently signed. |
|
Other trails in area: |
No chance to explore. Unknown. Comments from others please…?! |
