Its mid-January, it’s -20c outside and I’m looking for any reason I can find to avoid going out on the hill. Some might call me out for being such a wimp since regular Canadians deal with -20c or colder for months on end during the deep dark portion of winter. I feel no shame in [...]
I wish the park never closed. But it does. And it’s the worst. Thank you to everybody involved for a great year. Special thanks to the trail crew for making some big jumps . We needed those.
The bike park is closed now and that totally sucks. What are we supposed to do until the mountain opens? Pedal uphill on cross-country bike trails I guess… Oh, I’ll miss the days of lift-accessed mountain biking, but now we have something to look forward to for next spring. The bike park crew was hard [...]
Torrential is a good word to describe the downpour we are experiencing in Whistler right now. BUT GUESS WHAT?! The bike park still rocks when it’s raining- there are no lift lines and riding through puddles makes me feel like a kid again. (If you think about how wet your shorts/chamois/underthings get it’s kind of [...]
Oh wait. But it’s only mid-September. You’re still here!? Guess this is me letting the secret out, cuz it’s been secret hot laps on hero dirt for the last few days. Ask around, there isn’t a bad review around these parts. Here’s a summary: Black Velvet. I know – blah blah blah, been there done [...]
WHY DIDN’T ANYBODY TELL ME THAT EXTENDED PLAY WAS OVER! Â Worst news ever. It just sits there now. Not being used. Perfect evening light wasted. Why does this have to happen? I still want to be able to ride 10Â hours a day. Â I miss summer already and its still 30 degrees out. The alpine is [...]
This Labour Day weekend we are pleased to be opening the next segment of Blue Velvet. The trail is a completely new section that links the current “Black Velvet” portion with Fatcrobat. The new trail is an amazing ride through gladded forests linking perfect berms with intermediate tables, hips and step-ups. The exit does require [...]
Once upon a time, not too far into the distant future, there was a war waged on earth unlike any other. The land was left pockmarked with massive piles of dirt, and dusty trails snaking through field and forest. The one responsible for such devastation was no other than Megahipatron, a being from another planet [...]
I just got a new downhill bike. Its the best one. Its a fact. It just won 2 World Cup championships. Â I recently went on vacation and had to not ride it for 1o days after only having it for 4. It was ok to take a bit of time off the bike, I needed [...]
Yep…and it’s tomorrow, kids. What could possibly be harder than, say, the Tour de France…or the Canadian Open? Well, it’s called Betty vs Veronica and only women are allowed to race it. Over 180 women have been categorized according to their personalities – Bettys are friendly, non competitive but still enjoy a good challenge….Veronicas: they’re [...]
