Value Added is an exhilarating double-black diamond trail featuring massive granite rock slabs. The trail begins with a long arduous technical climb that will likely have riders walking several short sections at a time. From the top, it’s all about high speed and a few sharp turns before the first granite rock slab. Here, riders have the option to keep to the left to bypass the first roll or ride straight down it onto the slab. The length of the slab may catch you by surprise if you haven’t ridden it before, as it extends far down the hill. It finally ends with a roll followed by a sharp left turn. Speed control is key. A minute or two later, a granite roll awaits with a sharp right turn. Expect water to be flowing over this in wet conditions, and some water to be sitting on it in drier conditions. The trail finishes off with another roll directly before spitting out onto End-Hole Connector.
To access Value Added, take 50 More Shades of Green and the connector trail towards Entrails. Keep right at the junction of Entrails and Value Added. From the bottom of Value Added, turn right onto End Hole Connector to head towards Icy Hole of Death or simply cross over End Hole Connector for Penthouse Slab.
