Full Boar Shuttle Map

Full Boar is the original trail down Boer Mountain. While it only gets a single black diamond on the trail signs, by most accounts, this trail toes a very fine line between single black and true BC double black.

Description

The upper section of Full Boar consists of steep, old-school fall line riding descending challenging rock slabs and chunky rock gardens. This section earns Full Boar's renown for its challenging tech.

As the trail descends, the mountain naturally gets less steep, and the challenge of the trail mellows out considerably. Lower down, you'll find much more flow, with some challenging alternate lines that you can divert onto if you so desire.

Like all of the trails on Boer Mountain, you have the option of either shuttling to the top or pedaling up the newly-built Huff N Puff trail. This challenging tech trail is most popular with the big bike crowd and thus is shown as a shuttle run. But if you want to earn your turns on your enduro bike, you can definitely pedal to the top too!
