The DH Trails

The tracks are in two sections, separated by a fire road. There are ten lines on the upper site and ten lines on the lower site. Each has a different combination of drops, berms, rocks, roots and jumps with progressive levels for all abilities. The terrain is quite sandy and so dries fast.
In the last few years there has been a revamp of the hill, adding two top to bottom flow trails and adding more tech trails overall.
For the more advanced riders there are big road gaps, drops, steep technical runs and large doubles.
The Lozenge grading used in addition to and withing the trail grades is about the Technical Trail Features (TTF’s) that the trail includes. This can be drops, steep chutes, jumps (tables or gap jumps) road-gaps and berms.
A single lozenge denotes small features and indicates a more technical trail than other more feature-driven lines. Two lozenge trails will contain technical trail features of a medium to large size.
A trail with a two lozenge grade MAY contain features that cannot be rolled (i.e. on a black graded trail) but MAY also have a lesser or rollable option available.
Three lozenge trails have large technical trail features. These will be unavoidable and require suitable ability and total commitment.
