Definitely add corral/armstrong and stinger! Excellent downhills.

Ever since the Caldor came through the Corral/Armstrong season is sooooo short before it becomes a sandbox. Hopefully TAMBA fortifies them or the vegetation grows in so that it stays more moist. Stinger is an AWESOME trail. Love that one too. :-) Will add it so it becomes the "top 10" :-)

  4. Angora Ridge
  5. Christmas Valley
  6. Cold Creek
  7. Star Lake Trail
