Whistler 2013 Bike Park Conditions

The park is unreal. Thew new section on A-Line is looking good as well, change is good!

Crabapple Hits are buffed up and riding great. They are lipped up from last year, so be careful. Prepare for air.

Another day in paradise. 5 down, 45 to go!

I know there's still a lotta snow up top, but when does the Garbo zone typically open?

Agreed. Crushing it, killing it, all time conditions.

Raceplate's on, all year long.

Yeah, interested to see the Aline reroute. Big difference? Anyone?

Garbanzo official opening day is slated for June 15 2013. Should be doable - not a lot of snow last winter and this spring has been warm and wet.

After opening weekend, lower A-line was closed for rerouting, seems like there will be a tunnel in there at some point. Other than that A-line jumps are all pretty much the same as far as I recall maybe a little more lip on the biggest tabletops/stepups on the last section.

Here's the new ending hip.

Seconded. That's probably my favorite jump at WBP.

I'll be back on friday! Can't wait :D that looks like a good jump for me to set up with my camera and test out photographing the elusive mountain biker…

Is the temperature warm enough that you can wear shorts and just one layer?

I've worn a shirt and shorts all five days in the park I've had this year. From opening day to today.

Holy crap.. had my first trip down a newer lower aline today. The first of the last three has a transition that lasts for six stories.

That tabletop/transition is the "overpass" over Lower Easy Does it, which goes through a tunnel under A-line.

Great conditions today.

Watch out for the trail obstacles!
