                                            The Lower Granite Grind (LGG) comes out at the bottom of the Upper Granite Grind (UGG), descends to a river crossing, before turning back uphill along a single track for a 2km climb back to the resort. A nice workout that goes through the old logging ruins and mountain ash forest.

                                            A downhill ski run from the 1910’s, this technical downhill section provides a different option inside the Granite Grind trail. This short trail is ideal as a warm up for Cascades or a great way to challenge your mates.
