Ahhh I only got to go up for crankworx so I only got 2 days of riding in the park with maybe a little over 30 runs. I rode sunpeaks 7 times with I guess over 100 runs.
I missed out on 2nd trip to whis in the fall, silverstar and kicking horse because me dad broke his hand so he couldn't ride.

3 days at Whistler, 15 days at Silver Star - heck I am just not sure what I did with the rest of my summer?

Will have to make up for it by skiing every possible day this winter and getting myself a new DH bike and a season pass next summer.

Everyday on a bicycle is a good day!!

I don't remember the exact number of runs, but it was VERY close to 300 this season… Next time I'm up there, I'll scan my pass and check the stats.

What fork and wheelset were you using?!?

23 days for me. Unfortunately 3 less than last year. Not sure on the number of runs though.

888 ATA world cup - lasted the longest
888 SL? (the basic one)- as a loner
09 40 RC2 - 3 weeks and it was toast

Wheelsets

Mavic 325/ cheapo hubs
DT 5.1 w bombshell hubs
TAG FRX5 - they were just ugly :)
Transition revolution 32 - still rolling strong

I also went through a pair of STR8 Tracks on my hardtail. I learned that light components are not neccessary if you live in whistler unless you have a personal mechanic and plenty of spares!

20 Days and approximately 100 runs. Most of those were patrol days but runs none the less! Many other days elsewhere.

How mayn pairs of tyres did people use up over a full season - ie 100 or so days?
Going to be shuttling my replacement tyres over with friends from the UK - there ought to be a law against Canadian DH tyre prices!!!!

In fact they are mandatory safety equipment so they should be tax exempt as well!!

Everyday on a bicycle is a good day!!
