        Popular Mountain Station Mountain Biking Trails

        100 3.5 768 ft 79 ft 873
        Quick singletrack climbing that breaks up the grind on the logging road.
        90 4.5 5,115 ft 0 ft 836
        A popular choice despite getting roughed-in over the years because of faster, less-technical riding with stunts on the side, and the only true top-to-bottom trail built on this aspect.
        100 4.8 1,614 ft 0 ft 776
        Good mix up of moderate grade trail and rolling woodwork.
        100 3.7 906 ft 0 ft 663
        ASG is the continuation of Buddha, but stepped up with a bit more tilt to the pitch and overall ruggedness.
        95 4.6 1,781 ft 0 ft 609
        Faster and flowier than most Station trails, and a good upper starting trail for or Eli.
        100 4.7 1,952 ft 0 ft 567
        Classic downhill riding on a flowing, root-encrusted trail, with some steep cruxes and recently renovated airs.
        95 4.4 1,243 ft 0 ft 530
        Preferred shortcut to from Mountain Station parking area.
        90 4.8 2,005 ft 3 ft 388
        Nelson’s original steep, rooty singletrack descent. The old stunt sideshow may comeback but the natural flavour will always be worth it.
