This ride is for anyone who identifies as female
- Crank Sisters has a no-drop policy.
About the Trails / Ride / Grunt Rating
We will start with 2.5- 3 mile climb. We will go slower but at a steady pace, with a few stops. Be ready for 1600-1800” elevation gain:)
We will ride OTG for sure. We may add full East Tiger or start at the drop in.
Both are blue level downhill only trails.
Potential routes:
Masterlink- Quick link - Road - Summit East Tiger - OTG - Fully Rigid
Masterlink - Quick link - Road - East Tiger - OTG - Crooshaul - Atlas
About the trails:
OTG: is black but if you walk a few features, it’s blue. - I walk those features ?
Atlas: blue - but definitely spicy…….steep and techy.
Fully Rigid - black but again, if you walk a few features, it’s blue. Similar to Joy Ride, just a little bit harder but everything is walkable.
ARE YOU READY? You must be comfortable on the following Tiger trails: East Tiger Summit, Side Hustle, Joy Ride, Inside Passage, NWT.
If you are comfortable on those, the next step is OTG.
Atlas: In my opinion you need to test your skills on Extra Terrestrial - which is a steeper blue trail.
