Wow, I am stoked. There is a workday this weekend right? Will this be worked on then?
Boyette is the workday tomorrow.  Not very likely Corkscrew will be worked on as it is open for riding now.  Two other projects in the works.

The entrance is along the trail about 80' from the exit, also on the left.

So you're saying the entrance to Corkscrew is 80ft before the exit of Ridgeline on the left?
Holy crap - no!  Here's the deal, you can't miss it on your left!   ;D

Oh! Thanks. :D

It's right after the entrance, but before you pass the other entrance, next to the entrance on your left.

It's hidden from view and you can only really see it once you exit it.

Rode CS yesterday. The quick climb in was really soft and the steep downhill got my heart racing as it was even softer. Felt a wicked endo coming on but hung on to the bottom. Once it hardens up, it will be a lot of fun. For now, I'll stick to Ridgeline. I'm too old to be flying off my bike ... too often. Kudos to the builders.

sounds like you're talking about the new entrance, is that corkscrew?

It's toward the end of Ridgeline, the entrance will be on your left. There is a sign marking the entrance.

No, I wasn't talking about the new entrance, though I rode that too. Still sandy and soft, but it will be a nice addition once it gets packed down. 
The entrance to Corkscrew is a few hundred yards after The Plunge on your left. It's a short trail. I didn't measure it, but I'd say a few hundred yards total. Short climb up, turn left, pedal along a flat area, down the steep but short hill into the corkscrew, left, right and you're back onto Ridgeline. As Garry said, the corkscrew itself is easy to see. It's a only a few yards from the Ridgeline trail.
