Trails

Check out some of the low intermediate gravity trails we’ll be hitting during the MTB Essentials Clinic…

Sidewinder

Sidewinder is a beginner-friendly gravity flow trail that makes its way from the top of the Merritts Gondola, wrapping around the mountain through stunning terrain. With its deep, flowing berms and rolling landscape, it offers a roller-coaster-like ride with minimal pedaling and braking. Small features along the way allow riders to test their skills, ensuring fun for all abilities.

Kosciuszko Flow

Perfect for riders looking to ease into faster downhill or warm up for the Cannonball, this trail takes you through single-track packed with endless rollers and smooth berms for a continuous flow. The slightly steeper gradient provides a mellow ride while still delivering that exhilarating downhill rush.

Grasshopper

Grasshopper features a range of small jump options and massive, flowing berms. With mellow tabletops, side hits, and larger gaps for more advanced riders, it offers a great introduction to airtime while building confidence. Ideal for progression, Grasshopper guarantees fun for riders of all skill levels.
