TTFs on TrailDrop, Jump
The definition of flow: Rude Rock Trail. Perfeclty sculupted to follow the contours of the mountain, this trail starts just above the base buildings at Coronet Peak Ski field and finishes just before the skippers canyon access road.
Best suited to an AM 6"~ travel bike, but minimal pedalling is required to have a great time on your DH bike and as a bonus it's really easy to shuttle
PLEASE AVOID RIDING DURING/RIGHT AFTER RAIN OR SNOW AS THE TRAIL IS CLAY BASED AND GETS DAMAGED.
CAUTION REQUIRED ON WINDY DAYS, AVOID OPTIONAL JUMPS/DROPS ON EXPOSED RIDGELINES.
