A staple shuttle trail in beautiful Squamish, BC, 19th Hole is steep, rooty and technical. In this video we will check out the key sections and optional lines of this local legend. Trailforks: www.trailforks...
Thank you. I wanted to try my best to give people who had never hit the trail before as close to a realistic view of what they are getting themselves into :)
Gnarly! Thinking about hitting this on the way up to Whistler. Also, trying to decide it I'd have more fun on some of the tamer trails for my first time in Squamish. How does 19th compare to some of the Double-blacks in the park at Whistler (Goat's, Captain Safety, etc.)?
The big draw for Squamish is our slab trails usually. Most of them require some climbing though. There's plenty of DH to be had for those who know how to look. As far as the tamer trails go it's worth hitting the new Cakewalk at least once though it's not really my cup of tea after the rework (it was made way less gnarly). Psuedo Tsuga has had a lot of work as well and is a really good flow trail. As long as you can handle loose conditions 19th isn't too bad when you are used to riding Goats Gully and the like. I'd rate it halfway between Original Sin and Goats Gully.
