At 2.1 miles in length, Deck the Halls to Upper Sleigh Ride to Playground creates a course combination in SkyPark at Santa's Village Bike Park that emphasizes downhill single track riding while tacking on a section of fast flowing jumps.
Beginning at the trailhead beside the Pub, riders can follow the Upline course to the signed trailhead marking the Deck the Halls route. This is one of the only directional trails in the park that ends at a higher elevation than it started, veering from and eventually meeting back up with Upline at a higher point. Along this distance, the trail turns some wide switches as it rolls across the mountainside before turning uphill on the switches. There are no obstacles along this portion of the route, only rocky single track that veers into and out of the forest.
Upon rejoining Upline, a short uphill ride brings riders to Top of the World, where they can head down Upper Sleigh Ride, a high speed technical downhill course with mixed jumps and turns that covers the largest elevation drop of the ride. On a final straightaway, the trail cross Upline into the signed Lower Sleigh Ride section before Playground forks left.
Playground follows an easy single track route through forest canopy, tracing a downhill trending course that switches back a couple times before dropping back down to the trailhead.
Adding Deck the Halls tacks on a little distance to the uphill, bypassing Upline's direct uphill course, while the combination of Upper Sleigh Ride and Playground bring riders on fast downhill pace that meanders to a more gradual speed just before ending.
All downhill portions of the trail are rated at a Blue difficulty level, while the Playground trail is rated at a Green difficulty level.
Riders are subject to all hours and rules of SkyPark at Santa's Village.
