Description
"Starting with one of the most technical rock gardens on the mountain, which also happens to be right underneath the gondola – this trail is going to put your skills, and suspension, to the test,” writes Mammoth Mountain. "Keep an eye out for "the Waterfall," a near vertical chunk of rock midway down the trail.”
As one of the dedicated pro lines in the Mammoth Mountain Bike Park, this trail isn’t for the faint of heart. If you’re unsure whether or not you can handle Chain Smoke, you should probably avoid it!

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.
High Exposure
Some trail sections have exposed ledges or steep ascents/descents where falling could cause serious injury.
