Will be blasting those berms every day for three weeks this summer. It will be my 'morning strawl' (Chairlift is a 5 sec. drive from our chalet) And It happens to be I have just the right bike for it Wink

Probably still too big for me after the injury but I love the steepness and the berm not that far after a jump.

warum immer so steil? git doch nur brämswälle?

die berg isch ganz steil.

This trail is not as steep as the other trails. The mountain is steep so it is hard to build flatter trails when the slope is like that and I am only allowed to pass in certain spots. I am traversing back and forth to try and flatten things out. Also, that is a landing of a double and you can go straight (to the right in the image) as well if you don't want to slay that berm right after landing. There is also a big bermed go around line which is flat and gives you all the set up time one could need for the berms. I think when you see it you will not think it is "steil."

Sounds like you need some Formula brakes, hehe.

i understand that ure allowed to only build in certain spots. And i know that i actually love PDS! Only thought of the enormous work because of breaking bumps if trails are getting steep. Do u actually build every old trail new again, because of the bumps? I'm just wondering Smile

btw, i actually would never disjudge u aboute ure buildingskills!
pretty everything is built like it has to be built.

Aaaand steepp trails ftw!

Yes, but you are right. If things were flatter there wouldn't be as much work. I try and make the trail dictate the speed and not provoke brake bumps but I am usually forced to build in a small corridor and I can't traverse to make things flatter. I think you will be stoked on this one. I am really trying to make it as flat as I can.

Thanks for the props.
