its pretty basic, that first section you can see is the only sketchy part. Those two jumps are the only other part at all scary. The rest is just fun little doubles (rollable) and nice berms through the woods. The berms have NO break bumps because people rarely ride it so they are a super nice change from a-line or DM. Give it a try!

Yeah, I'd agree it is really fun and the jumps later on in the trail, the bigger two aren't even bad at all. If you just kept your speed up you'd make both easy. It's a short trail though, really short compared to A-line or Dirt Merchant, but definitely worth it, cause there's no brake bumps or anything. I think the first part of the trail keeps most of the people who would leave brake bumps out.

D1 doesn't see a whole lot of traffic. You would be fine to cruise through and scope it out.

I live in Whistler and this one of my favorite trails. You can access it by hitting little alder, which is another less ridden trail. Little alder is just plain singletrack with no stunts. Or you can take the expressway road off the side by the containers on freight train. In Deep also ends up at lil alder.

D1 itself starts out with a tricky tech start over some gnarly roots and drops off into a step down to big berm. From there on, its all big gaps and sick jumps. Don't even think about entering unless you got DJs dialed. It's super smooth and nice, you just have to work hard to clean the trail for sure. It's a bit tight in the trees, not alot of room for mistakes.

D1 is located to the right of Too Tight.

Little alder is super fun to ride. Never done D1 though....maybe next year...
