That pic is one of few I've seen that actually makes a trail look steep.

is that downdraft or cascade? i'm thinking its cascade as downdraft comes out before DD flattens out.

either way, there is a pretty good pitch to both of those.
 
It's definitely Downdraft. No doubt in my mind.

Yup. Cascade is under the Gondola and Double Dipper is under the Canyon Quad.

I actually like Cascade better because the dog leg left makes it a bit more interesting, but the steep part on Downdraft is pretty fun too. Good place to find those "VW" moguls.

I like downdraft more because it's narrower.

Also, you could possibly confuse that picture with the lower dogleg part of Cascade, I had to stare at it w while, THere's no K1 on that piece, but the trees are wrong on the right. Lower cascade opens up on the right earlier

Much more slope off to the right on lower Cascade too, plus it intersects with the Canyon Quad at a slacker angle.
 
Apparently post count = life to him. He flipped his effin lid when I whacked it to zero...

Dude..I like numbers and statistics..it's neat to see how many posts I have..I wish I could wack your post count to zero..but I don't have good hacker skillz..

Too bad there's not a stat that shows how many threads you've ruined, or how many of your precious posts are worthless 'bumps'.

Yeah - the intersection angle was what clued my in initially, but I had to verify with other clues.

Talking about trails "looking steep" I'm always amazed how steep Royal Flush looks when you look at it from the K1 as you're riding past it. I guess thats standard when you're looking straight at a trail like that...
