Pretty much incorporates the best of squamish minus the machine-built flow. This hand-built trail is a masterpiece, a labour of love, and a great all-round ride. Rock slabs, bridges, flowy loam... it's all there. The access climb gets your heart going and then it's pretty much all downhill from there minus a few pedal spots. Great flow throughout, you don't need to use your brakes the whole time.
