Mountain Biking Slalom
#946 of 1,395 mountain bike trails in Colorado
Most of the Breckenridge trails are two-way, shared use, cross-country style of track but not Slalom - it's a genuine mountain bike flow trail! It's a mile long. The altitude drop is about 400 feet. It's not steep so it's not chewed up with braking bumps. It features swooping berms and some little jumps. The biggest berm is a beaut - it's built into the gangue from the historic Naperville Tunnel Mine!
Probably the best way to get to it is from the Upper Flume Trail. That takes you to the bottom but you can ride up, turn around and ride back down.

You best way to the Slalom track is to ride the Flume Loop in northern Breckenridge. Slalom terminates on the north east end of Upper Flume. From there you can ride up it, take in the view from the top of Gold Run Gulch Road, turn round and ride back down.
To get to the top of the trail by car head north out of Breckenridge, turn right into Huron Road, continue onto Forest Hills Drive, which takes you to Gold Run Drive also known as Gold Run Gulch Road. The trail starts near the top of the hill, just 3.5 miles from downtown Breck.
I loved the big berm built into the waste material from an historic mine. At a mile long the Slalom Trail is too soon over! As a flow trail it could do with some more opportunities for air but there are some unusual cambered little jumps. It does sort of fizzle out towards the bottom. It's non-threatening - I saw some intermediate riders riding it comfortably.
