Had a poke around yesterday.
Some pretty serious rain damage basically everywhere i looked. Think 4 inch wide rain ruts running down trail. There is a big tree down underneath the wooden step down on canadian open right where rock city joins it.

Im guessing they will have a lot of work to do to get it up to scratch for opening day this year.

But probably less than a normal year, no wasting resources moving snow

It is not yet confirmed if W/B will be offering the Triple Play Card this season. I hope they do, cause generally that's the deal I go with. Buy early [HTML_REMOVED] get that 4th day free.

heavy rain damage this year all over, where HOD connects cross bottom of Lower Joyride/Rock City/Canadian Open there is a huge long hole in the middle of the trail, probably gonna take awhile to fix everything up in time….plus Whistler is supposed to be open for skiing until then so operation wise I see them sticking to the plan….

Don't they have them ever year (similar to the edge card for skiing)…?

Hope so, seems like the best deal for folks going between 5 and 10 days which is what I hit. Buy a triple play and get the 4 days then tack on 3ish more when they are on sale.

Does the resort ever let winter EDGE card holders roll their days into the bike park? Got 6 days left, not sure I'll use em all skiing especially with the cheap spring add-on option and backcountry lift tickets.

I'm thinking about starting a betting pool as to when it will open. Guess too early and your out, closest one takes the pot. Want in Ted?

Safest bet is that it doesn't open early.

and if it does, it'll only be a week or two, a la winter "early openings"

I agree with this. That said, if we could get it off of the May twofour long weekend I'd be ecstatic.
