Chainsaw/McGazza Aline train on the 20th.

Hopefully they're still going to rename Canadian Open and/or use Chainsaw for a new WCDH trail on Creekside.

Interesting re-route of the bottom bit of EZ. Is this under the bridge? If so, bravo.

You're a clever one, aren't you? What you see in that picture is actually a Snowmaking installation trench, but EZDI will hopefully be going that way later this summer, which is why the grass portion has been revived (it's the old end of HOD for today's history lesson)

I'll be hanging at the back of that train or maybe take some pics/video, gonna be huge I bet.

Looking forward to warming up on the new lower Crank it Up and CIU More, fresh trails are always appreciated and if the jumps on CIU More are a touch bigger than old lower CIU that would be great.

We are back! Some slow soft mud but otherwise she's running great.

Aline zone 3 is being rebuilt again.. no poach from Boca. ciu more is looking fun, can't wait to give her a go.

Queue the complaining of no more Aline tech. Dirt over top of the root you had to go left over. The wee booter before that seems less wee.

Dirt Merchant is perfect.

2016 is here.

The WBP really is the tits.

Even if some of the lips of their jumps make me work really hard.

So happy it's may.

Mind blowing amount of work done to almost every trail as well, buff berms on everything haha, even in less popular spots like upper Whistler DH and lower angry pirate.

Well that was a fantastic 3.5 hours tonight. Great work by the crew. A-Line lips lovely. Single track buff. Crack Addict fun. Lines short by 5:30. I could go on.

Twilight Pass will be well used this year.

I thought they were only open until 5pm for the first month or so, no?

Trails are running great! Even though the maze is full the wait is only about 20 minutes.
