Sue, the vx run was never considered or meant to be an "easy" run. It was meant to be easy enough not to damage a stock vx, but challenging enough to give those new to off reading a good sense of what the vx is capable of.
That said, most people want some level of challenge...Hurrah Pass is basically a scenic dirt road. Great for sight seeing but very little challenge.
