Description

Spicy Chicken is a fun, flowy, intermediate/advanced jump track. You can access Spicy Chicken from the top of the Olympia lift.

Recently reworked and updated from a Blue to a Blue/Black, Spicy Chicken starts off with a couple small doubles to get the legs warmed up for what's to come. The first two table tops will help you adjust speed before you round the berm and make your way to the trail's larger features.

The trail continues with a series of 15-20 ft lippy tabletops. Most of these have a slight step up to them, which can soften the landing if you case these jumps your first few gos at them. Maintaining your speed through all these jumps is crucial. Once you case, you might lose all the speed for the rest of the line. After the first few jumps, you'll hit a left hand berm and a small shark fin out of the turn, then approach one more jump, a right berm, then two final jumps on the line.

Scrub your speed in the final left turn where the trail merges with Green World. Be patient with the beginners and you'll arrive at the Hi-Lo intersection shortly with access to continue on Space Force, Green World, Rainmaker, or Double Jeopardy.
