I've never ridden the lifts down there. How would you describe the quality of the terrain and the system? Worth making a drive down for?

Well, there aren't that many actual DH trails, but there is a ton of riding up there. The upper cannonball trail is fast/rocky (dont want to crash there) and the lower sections are off in the trees and have the softer oregon dirt with all the roots and waterbars, etc. I havent seen the new pro/expert course but the old one had some log drops and stuff on it. Not much built stuff, but the guys working there said they finally got the ok to build some more trails so they expect to have 4 more trails on the lower bowl built with a lot of woodwork (to keep up with willamette pass freeride park I suppose?).
