Need to Know

This trail is subject to a seasonal closure from 12/15 - 4/15 to protect deer and elk during calving season

Description

Beautiful views of Avon and Beaver Creek but no time to look at them as the trail twists and steeply descends towards Avon Singletree Connector (ASC). Enormous, perfectly built in-sloped berms toss riders from corner to corner between jumps and pumps along the trail.

Lee's Way Down ends on the Avon Singletree Connector (ASC), where you can quickly jump across the trail to BLT Jump Line to make the perfect conclusion to a long climb up to Wildridge.

little snow on the run, but very much rideable! the PBJ jump line right after, when you cross the larger trail at the end of Lee is very nice also!
