Being from the midwest, this was much different riding with sustained upwards climbing and ripping descents, rather than a meandering loop/route. I recommend taking the singletrack Climb trail upwards from the bottom parking access. Full Nelson & Half Nelson were recommended to us - they are machine made flowy, sweeping trails, where most of the other trails are man-made and more technical with rocks & roots. Skookum is a newer cut trail, so it wasn't as smooth and it also lost altitude at a slower clip than most of the other downhill trails. Fred was my favorite trail because it really tested my technical skills with upwards & downwards riding. There was one part that was way too huge of a drop for me though! This flowed into Tinder and with a brief stint on Deliverance (it's not double black on this cut-over) to access Flat Alley to get back to where we parked. This made for enough excitement & climbing for one day.
