Moose Knuckle  Map

Ride down China Bowl on your way to Coyote, not long after passing the fumeral (you’ll know this by the smoke and smell of eggs in the air) there’s a large ridge where a nice hip forms right below a small tree island. Usually best as a hip this feature can also be great fun as a straight jump slightly further down the ridge. Very user friendly. Hittable in a number of different ways and snow conditions this is a killer feature that you can hit days and sometimes weeks after a storm.
