New & Extended Trails for 2024

Two new downhill trails:

  • Shark Bait: Black Diamond Flow Trail – 0.94mi
    • New in 2024 Shark Bait is a progressive flow trail to thrash your bike around. This trail was designed to feature a little bit of everything from technical rock gardens, large berms, drops, and the biggest jumps on the mountain. There aren’t many places you can’t find air on this rowdy new trail.
  • Project O: Black Diamond Technical Trail – 0.56mi
    • New for 2024, Project O is a steep and raw trail cut into a dark gully. Born from logging operations of past this trail skirts around a creek littered with waterfalls. The trail features roots, rocks, drops and loose corners. Time will tell just how rowdy this trail will become.

Trail Extensions:

  • Hot Shot Extension: Black Diamond Technical Trail – 1.05mi
    • A new final section was added in 2024 to connect to hub 9. Diving into a steep and dark gully with an optional double black line.

    • Extended in Summer 2024 to connect with Paper Boy.
