Whistler 2014 Trail Conditions - not in the bike park
Yeah, WH's inspired me to hit MicroClimate and Howler on the same day. Will attempt this weekend:banana:
Pain is temporary; quitting lasts forever.
It's being taken care of, WB, Crankworx, and the builders have it all under control. WORCA still needs people to show up for the Sproatt trail days though, please volly your efforts there.
Checked it out today, gave Dan a hand moving some stringers and making some slats.
If anyone has some spare time mid week, I think he's usually up there, check in with WORCA, or as Flip! Go and help him out!
This is a huge project and and will be a great ride once done.

mc running well friday. quite wet.
crazy train had big tree down after the first long committing steep section on sat. could be easy to plow into if you know the trail well. much much drier than mc the previous day.
that rain was amazing, AMPM and High Side were so velcro-y and awesome tonight!
Flip, forget to drop you kudos on Highside. It's running amazing and ripping down SCAP onto it is brilliant fun.

cheers, thanks Honky….that was my vision and I'm so stoked on how it's turned out! looking forward to some fall moisture so I can tweak and fix the couple of things that need it, although that being said, it's held up remarkably well considering the lack of moisture this summer!
Awesome work. Flip, curious if you know how most people are getting to SCAP and Highside: up via Kadenwood, or Farside, Eastside main?

I go up Farside and the Cheakamus lake road. But I live in Spring Creek.
Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

I think a lot of people use it as a extension of Cheakamus laps, up Farside/etc….but a lot more people are definitely doing the lower babylon/scap route too, especially compared to the past when almost no one rode out that way. I live in bayshores so do the kadenwood route a lot, mostly because I like that first bit of lower babylon singletrack, and then you get a nice long descent down scap/hs. I've also been doing a lot of valley trail, to ampm, then up farside to scap/hs and then back to highline, then you have a bunch of options to finish...IBT/TV/Etc. I think it will prove its worth early and late season when scap is snowed in and we only have lower valley stuff to be occupied with!
mostly fixed the funky 180 berm about half way down HS last night, needs a bit more tweaking, but it's a lot better I think…..it gets dark in the woods way to early these days!

night building for the fall/winter. You just need a headlamp.

was totally scheming that on my (dark) walk out
Howler and Billy Epic holding up very well after last nights downpour. Was in great shape really. Even Bobs on the way out wasnt really soggy. wet ground but no splashing.

yeah we hit up screaming cat/north flank/howler via cougar sunday and it was really good, lots of big baby heads in corners on howler though to look out for!
