Top Secret

At great potential personal peril, I will divulge some information regarding this run. Just know, if the blind folds come out, you’re probably heading for “Top Secret”. This is one of several tree runs accessed from Cougar Ridge which forms the northern boundary of John Bowl. After sneaking along the ridge and dropping onto a short traverse (it’s a lot longer for the poor sod breaking trail), Top Secret reveals itself as a central gully with outrageous tree skiing on both flanks. The far left line in here (go ahead, just try to nail it) is listed as one of Allen’s top five hangouts. The well spaced steep trees are well practiced at holding on to soft, dry secrets and the gully line can be, well, I just can’t tell you any more than that! Believe me, this is a run worth not talking about.
