Summary:
All of the trails at Pajarito are fun, but my personal favorite(s) is the Air Raid/Battle Stations/May Day line. All of these trails have many jumps and many technical sections. My favorite hit is a 30 fotter near the start of May Day. (Really gets your adrenaline pumping). This year, they built a new start called side winder which is pretty fun. The line ends near Mother lift and if you think that May Day isn't tech enough, you can take leaping lizards (also new(at leat the name is)). This alternative has drops, jumps, and a couple of fun berms.

Recommended Route:
Definately take the Aspen for trouble start and hit side winder. There are two starts to the beginning of side winder. one contains a log-ride with a drop at the end. The other has a mild rock garden. (If you are an actual biker, you will hit the hip jump along the way on the left.)

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Nail Trail : Fun rocky trail on the same mountain as Pajarito. A fun way to get down the mountain if you've been dropped off or are car pooling. Just head east from the lodge and on the first pull off to a dirt road, take it. there are a couple of forks and on the first, go right. on the second go left and on the third go left again.

Summary:
Ski Area is running the lift 2 Saturdays a month this summer with festivals. The upper part of the XC singletrack swthcbacks (after 2nd road crossing) is new and still very rough but will be exceptional after a few rains. Mothers Milk FR starts on a 100 foot (not 100") log ride which is about 100 feet below the XC trail. This trail is ridable on a XC bike but difficult and some drops may be harsh though there are tracks around them. Muy Loco is also ridable on XC bike but Steep! XC trail is fun in downhill(reverse description) direction. Check save the trails section for more info on the Ski Area Stuff.

Recommended Route:
XC trail up to Aspen Lift then back down that trail to Mothers Milk and XC back to Lodge. Go east on dirt service road to east side singletrack heading downhill(forks to left after about 1/2 mile uphill on road). Singletrack loops around back to the lodge area after reaching a low point at Townsite Lift.
