What's the green skills area like at GT now? Last time I was there a few years ago it had gotten run down and several bits of the woodwork had been taken out. I think I recall a press release talking about it being updated, but is it still worth it?

Going with my kids shortly so hoping it will be a good place to start, before heading off for the blue - either all of it or a shortened route.

It's not great tbh. They added a nice drop practice bit which is well done, but took out a load of woodwork and stones and replaced it with a weird little pumptrack thing that's not much good. Bit of a half-assed attempt imo. Better than nothing mind!

for my wee ones, the new steeps / drops graded blue/red/black is good.
5 year old enjoys tthe log skinnies too.
The rest of the green skills loop is not much changed, some small step up/downs that are ok for sessionning to get good, but the kids have to be motivated for that.
