In the winter this trail can be fast and flowy. Ideal for fat biking, and after the snow has been packed down well, plus and normal mountain bikes can ride it too. This trail's true personality shows after the snow is gone. It is a technical, rocky trail with many interesting features such as the ladder bridges for which it is named, rock overs, and skinnies.
