There are three (3) drop-in areas. The first is Builders only, about 1/2 km up the gravel road (Glenrosa Road). The second is 2.5 km up the gravel road and the last is Big Monkey at the 3.5 km mark. All trails are on your right-hand side; they are not obvious so keep your eyes open.

The Builders Only Trail offers a large number of man made structures, varying in ability. A good trail to get warmed up on. The rest of the runs further up the mountain get a little more intense; rating advanced to expert/pro.

Powers Creek boasts the following downhill/freeride trails: Big Money, Crazy Train, Builders Only, Diddler, Stinky Pinky, Master of Slag, Playland, Fat Badge and Glen Canyon.
