Shy Ann -> Double Jeopardy -> Free Speech -> No Quarter Map

This run combination includes a wide variety of trails, but all told, it makes for a fantastic advanced-level downhill run filled with jumps, wooden features, chunky rocks, fast berms, and more.

Description

The run begins on Shy Ann, which is the easiest trail in this combination. The top section of Shy Ann has been newly rebuilt (as of this writing in fall 2023), with buffed-out berms in the corners and flowy rollers. There are also a few mellow tabletops lower down, which makes this the perfect warm-up run for riders of all stripes.

Next up, Double Jeopardy is a blue/black tech trail that features a ton of embedded rocks. On many features, you'll see two line options: a slabby rock roll with a gnarly rock garden next to it. The flow through the corners is very reminiscent of an IMBA-designed tech trail, where a lot of the rocks are well embedded into the trail tread, and the lines are fairly well-defined and easy to distinguish.

Free Speech is a blue trail that has some entertaining wooden features that can be jumped if you have enough speed. The trail definitely gets a bit tighter near the end, but it finishes off with two beautiful tabletop jumps.

Finally, the run finishes on No Quarter—a fantastic black diamond freeride trail. It begins with two wooden drops to very long, forgiving landings. While both drops are rollable, if you do huck them, you can end up with 5+ foot drops. These are truly great progression features, allowing you to slowly build up your drop confidence. Lower down, the trail includes some bigger jumps, tables, and a few hips in the corners. You'll also get to rail through some fantastic berms for a fantastic finish to this top-to-bottom run!
