First, Tsopu itself is an absolute gem of a trail. Up top, the perfect berms provide fantastic kinesthetic flow as you rail through beautiful alpine meadows. As you descend, the jumps get more and more prominent, with the second section offering a steady stream of booters, doubles, and small tables. There's even a wooden wallride, but this can be ridden around if desired. To keep the trail as beginner-friendly as possible (even though it's by no means a true beginner trail), all of the jumps and features can be rolled over or easily bypassed. More advanced riders will have a blast making gaps and nailing the flow of this trail.

For this top-to-bottom run, Tsopu flows straight into a section of Tire's Fire. Tire's Fire is an extreme-rated trail, but if you pick your way through the section marked here, you can keep it to roughly an upper intermediate difficulty. This section of Tire's Fire isn't too steep, and it merely funnels you through a series of rough patches, small drops, root webs, and a few moderate rock gardens. Optional ledge drops do pose a bigger challenge, but they can easily be bypassed.

To keep the difficulty down, this route ducks off of Tire's Fire as soon as possible onto the final section of Wouaiy. Here the trail gets dramatically easier, with tight banked turns and a few root webs. You'll drop out onto a dirt road, take a left, and follow the dirt road a short way before picking up the final, very short section of Tsopu.

See? Wasn't it so much better getting in a few more fantastic tracks instead of just riding dirt roads down the mountain?
