Tyrolean Downhill a Tahoe favorite!

Call it what you want: the Tyrolean DH/Chinese DH/Diamond Peak DH - the ride is a fast, flowy run that is one of the best in the Sierra!

The Tyrolean DH starts at one of the most beautiful places on Earth - Mt. Rose overlooking Lake Tahoe. Just about every weekend you can find dhReno riders rippin this trail!
