Rode the full Lake Mountain descent for the 2nd time and first time for the final little sector along the river into Marysville on new years day.
There is no doubt this is a physical trail, hard going if you punch it all out in one go or don't take your time. Plan a good 3 hours if you don't want to feel rushed and have time to look around at some of the great new features they're still building.
I managed to catch a lift up with the Lake Mountain experience manager who told me they now have a full time trail builder on staff, I passed him on the way down actually working on new years day! So seems only more awesomeness to come!
There were new A lines on the top section and some bigger gap jumps on the new third sector final section into Marysville, but I was too buggered at that stage to hit them lol.
The trail itself was very dusty and blown out in places but still awesome and worth the uphill sections.
This is a video I put together of my run, might give you an idea of the condition of different sections as you work your way down.
Sorry is a long video, but has to be to show all the different sections.
