A lift ticket is required to ride the chair to the top. Downhill-only mountain bike trail. No uphill access or hiking permitted.

Description

At the top of the lift, hang a left, loop back under the lift and look for Cowboy Up which drops off the service road. Blast across the ski slope and send (or roll) a nice double before entering a series of berms in the trees.

The next freeride feature comes in the form of a cannon drop that's super smooth but easy to over-send. Dial the send-o-meter back to 7 or 8 for this one to ensure a smooth landing in the transition. There's a ride-around on the left for those looking to keep wheels on the ground.

A couple more berms and you're back out on the ski run approaching the signature Cowboy Up rock garden. This ~100-foot man-made rock garden is just technical enough to require solid attention to line choice, but just straightforward enough to pin through.

After smashing those rocks, you'll arrive at a junction with TNT, Holy Diver, Motorhead, and Girl Scout.
