Bobsled
Machine-built flow trail on Fromme. Fast, forgiving, addictive. The best intro to the North Shore for visiting riders.
Trail beta
Park at the main Fromme lot at the top of Mountain Highway. Climb the gated fire road about 1.25 km from the parking area to the signed Bobsled trailhead (lower on the mountain than Pipeline/Expresso). Bobsled is one-way (no uphill, no hikers): ~900m of continuous bermed corners and wooden wall-rides, the flowiest trail on Fromme with just enough tech to keep you honest. Perfect after-work lap or warm-up. Most riders do 2-3 laps before heading higher. Great in the wet; the berms shed water well.
When to go
Rideable most of the year, but this machine-built flow trail on Fromme's lower slopes is the first to get posted as wet-weather-closed after heavy Pacific storms: the berms and dirt surface don't hold up under saturation. Best May-October when consistent dry spells let the trail firm up. Check Trailforks for real-time status, especially November-March.
Shuttle
