Pinball starts with a step-up, which if you clear (you will need all your speed and then some), will take your momentum into the rest of the trail. Narrow and flowy at the top, with a couple of root drops, this trail quickly becomes steep and bermy with a gap jump and a big step up under the chairlift. It finishes off with an optional ramp drop (about 4 to 6 feet depending how far you send it). This is an easier black, but tricky to ride clean and fast.

Disclaimer

Pinball is scheduled to be worked on this summer so pre-ride, re-ride, free-ride
