The trail offerings near Lake Tahoe have exploded over the past decade, and one of the best new trails is the Tyrolian Downhill. This shuttleable downhill trail "is arguably one of Tahoe’s best," according to local rider Alex Silgalis of LocalFreshies."It combines easy access to above-alpine terrain, a pro-designed middle section by Cam Zink with optional jumps that get progressively bigger, and a lower third loaded with rock gardens, optional sidehits, and fast, flowy segments. It’s this mix of features that keeps my friends and me coming back to Tyrolian every summer, no question."
If you string all of the various segments together and connect them with pieces of the Tahoe Rim Trail, the Tyrolian Downhill turns into a roughly 10-mile romp with about 700 feet of climbing and over 3,200 feet of superb descending. And if you're looking for another new shuttle run for your list, be sure to hit the nearby Cap to Tahoe route, too.
