Variety of difficulties from the Basin Trail and May Apple (easy) to Royale (moderate) and very challenging rides (like SnakeRoot and Prickly Pear).
Variety of conditions. A fair amount of Rock Gardens on the harder trails.
The Hairball trail is typically only ridden downhill because the section of trail near the top of the mountain is very steep with numerous small drops and many roots.
Great downhill ride with some loose rocks and trail erosion towards the bottom of the trail that provides a nice variety of trail conditions. Great for speed.
Not one of my favorite rides, but two trails stood out if you are looking for technical and exciting downhills. The snake trail lives up to its names with a long down hill that cuts back and forth every 100 feet. Awesome in the summertime when the mountain laurel create a canopy right over your helmet. Jacobs ladder is also well named - tough roots make it more ladder than stairs with some drops that will keep your heart pounding. Haven't ridden the other trails.
