Some amazing trails that do not have the notoriaty like the Shore or Whistler. More secluded, more flow versus the tight and technical shore, and plenty of trails for all abilities. I have to say that our guide for the day ripped on what the locals call XC. They were technical.
We rode Upper Powersmart, Recycler?, East Infection, Another Man's Gold, and Powerhouse Plunge.
More views from the top of the mountain.
Steve found this drop off the fireroad climb up after Powersmart. It had a ladder to plank roller which was steep and wet, that put you into this 6-8'er. There was another gap feature or log kicker at the bottom. The trail actually had some big ladderwork built further down, but it was inaccessible due to fallen trees.
I think this trail was called Recycler. It had had plenty of skinnies.

Our guide for the day. Jan was the man. Rode clipped in and led us down some steep, wet, root infested muddy trails. I couldn't keep up with him.
It took me several times just to make the tight turn at the top to get on the log. Once on, it was pretty smooth.

We were able to bend it back and continue without any problems for the rest of the ride.
Scenic view.
Scott on a nice skinny that dumped you out into two nice wooden kickers, then back on to more skinnies.
Steve after the wooden kickers.
Last skinny at the end of the trail.

On to East Infection with a nice inscription on this rock before you dropped in.
Here is Steve heading down towards the wall ride.
Beautiful! It sure was fun to rail this!
Scott head on leading into the first jump.
Dft on his first run.
Didn't catch the homeplate slide though.
I blow through the left turn on the video take.
Cool shot of Scott coming out of a turn leading into the stepdown.
Some good video footage of Steve and Scott cleaning the lower sections.
