The Hangman I stretches from the mountain station to the middle station and is technically sophisticated: narrow trails snake through the forest and under the gondola down the slope. In the forest, the riders can expect small root passages and Northshore (wooden) elements. The first part has a few challenging roots sections also. Don´t be fooled by its fairly harmless look from the gondola; although it has some easier, faster sections, there are many technically gnarly sections also.
Difficulty
Extreme
Very steep, difficult, narrow singletrack with widely variable and unpredictable trail conditions. Unavoidable obstacles could be 15in/38cm tall or greater, and unavoidable obstacles with serious consequences are likely to be present. Obstacles could include big rocks, difficult root sections, drops, jumps, sharp switchbacks, and more. Ideal for expert-level riders.
