In addition to the Phoenix Downhill above there are other black off-piste tracks like Badger's Box (655m long). Badgers Box is steep in parts with a technical rock garden before you head into the trees for a rollercoaster of drops, roots, and a punchy climb. There is also the black graded downhill called Resurrection which is 975m long.
There are also red off-piste downhills like the 610m red graded White Lady, the 790m Macchiato and Tomb Steen a 1 km popular red which opened in 2022 for the Scottish Enduro Series. The Tomb Steen is a hand dug natural trail with chunky flow, flowy berms, and lots of granite slab.

Pitchie trails form part of the Scottish Downhill Association's championship series.
The forestry commission, DMBiS and most importantly the regional trail association i.e. Aberdeen Trail Association were pivotal in investing in and developing these trails.
