halfassed berm suck and are a waste of time and effort. .
On our big new marquee local trail (3000' climb over 15 miles), there are 2 sections with bermed switchbacks. Every. Single. One of them ends too early, so you must slow down below "trail speed" to make the turns. It's a professionally, mostly machine built trail, and I don't understand why they didn't just go the extra 10% to make it flow. The worst part is that there is a nice looking start and middle berm in each one, so you get suckered in, only to find that the berm just peters out 5 feet too soon.
ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.
