Don't know.... it's 50/50 between the Canada and Quebec course. Each one has it special features. Q-Cup has the infamous "dump' and the Canada Cup trail has the now famous "couch corner". As a previous poster mentioned, WEAR your body Amour along with the spine guard! Hey Newbies, are you a bit nervous now? You should be!

The trail with the Couch corner is Bill's run, and that section is also known as Bill's corner, it's steep and pretty tech. The whole trail is steep, too, whereas on Q-cup it mellows out a bit after the Dump

Sorry, I meant the National Course, but the National that the o-Cup races is not the same as on the map and incorporate Bill's Run, Evergreen and a few other double diamond runs

Didn't they do a race that ended on Rockfest last year?

Fortune is the first place I rode DH at and for me it's the epitome DH riding. Steep and tech with lots of pointy rocks. Once you figure out the line through the Dump, it's not so bad. Pretty intimidating section the first time you see it, though.
