Kangooride: Blue. Heaps of jumps (hence the name!) and berms plus two long tables. Follows natural features, stony in places. Distance: 1.3km Descends 595m. Start: Top of Aeroski. Finish: Val Claret

Black Metal: Black. Very steep, very loose full-on descent - strictly for expert level riders. Distance: 1km Descends 250m. Start: Top of Aeroski. Finish: Rosset.
