Trail Description:
This trail is a blast. Most riders take the ski lift up and do the downhill. Don't short change yourself. Take the cat trail up. It will give you the proper endorphine levels for the courage needed on the downhill trail if you select that option.

Beginners can take the cat trail down. It is good practice for control and very manageable.

The downhill to the left of the ski run is a frighteningly steep single track best left for extra advanced riders. Chair lift hikers will tell you that your stupid for attempting it. WARNING!! Watch the log-drop off onto a tight turn approximately 1/3 of the way down the trail. This trail is a kick and something totally different to do.

How to get there:
Easy. Go to Sunrise Ski Run.

Additional Notes:
A day long lift ticket is $15

For the advanced follow the black poles. Less advanced take the blue poles. However, even the blue pole sections take at least intermediate skill level. However, there is a dirt road down that anyone could do, but it would get old fast if that is the only trail that one is capable of doing. It was great fun and I was pooped by the end of the day (open from 10 to 4)
