Riders board tandem bobsleds and ascend into the hollow, icy cavern of a snow-capped peak, where the howl of the wind and the glow of crystalline caves set a chilling tone. The descent features a series of tight, unbanked turns and sudden drops that navigate through jagged rockwork and past the glowing eyes of a territorial mountain dweller. Sudden splashes through alpine pools provide a brief cooling spray before the sleds emerge from the darkness into the bright sun. The ride’s jerky, rhythmic pacing emphasizes the mechanical charm of the classic track design as it hugs the contours of the mountain.
