Need to take a load off? Excited for a nice sit-down? Pop on over to The Sh!tter, Lower Empire’s newest oldest side hit, now flushing again to the right. ⚠️: slippery when wet. Tell your friends; Enjoy your dumps!
But, one likely asks, why? This ancient wooden monstrosity had collapsed a long time ago from severe winters of heavy snowloads, blown down trees, trail progression and building evolution, trail re-routes, and other various reasons. Surprisingly, about 30% of the framing was still intact. It took a few hours of framing, a few hours of planking, and then a few hours of hauling a bit more lumber up into the woods, and now here we are. Lower Empire, one of the classic downhill trails in Park City, UT, has a new old side hit attraction. If you can’t find it and you want it, go build it. Take care, and Happy Trails!
