Hahah I am not Randy Spangler, Cam! Just a dude who likes tech bike lines!

Brendan's run was definitely underscored. Less manicured lips and landings and more raw rowdy lines.

Go talk to him, you will see what I mean.

Most of the S57 work is done by Alistair, have any of you dealt with him? Maybe then you can see why there is the backlog and slow process.

I rode one of these, it's amazing, climbs nice and descending like a champ. Great bike, the not so great thing, the price. As good as it is, with the price it's hard to see "value" in it.

Lived in Emerald for for a couple years, rode these all the time great trails. Trial & Error is a great one, the one rock roll that bucks up your back tire!

Little ripper!

In preparing be ready to have a stressful time finding accommodation, and be expected to give an arm and your first newborn for it.

So awesome. One of my favourite things about mtb biking is being able to bring the 4 legged critter with me. She loves it as much as I do.

I sucked it up and got a 2015 Kona Process 153 DL. Climbs good enough for me and makes descents THE BEST THING ever. Was a stretch to buy it, but it's the little things that make life enjoyable right?

Well all Whistler Bike park edits will be boring now after this.

You can go that way and access them, it's a grunt but doable.

Value added has one spicy slab with an easy route down it and a harder route. That's what makes is double black, otherwise if you can ride Boney Elbows you will really enjoy this trail, it's definitely worth checking out!

What are your thoughts on riding there right now?

I was going to do some repairs in our place before the renters come, and was wondering if it was worth bringing the bike. 

Is creekside closed yet?

Was rad yesterday riding, its bike worthy.

Creekside is closed though.

Danimal is a super fun one and worth checking out climb Hot Dog Alley then the new climbing trail off Scotia Creek.

Un-fucking-believable. Another Vail pass fail. All customers require yet another new RFID pass and must sign a new waiver for the bike park. This can only be done in person @ WB Guest Services. Notice of this failure has only been identified and customers informed 8 days before the bike park opens. After last fall, how did they not know this months ago? Bike park customers who are also skiers could've dealt with this during ski season. Instead we get to stand in an hour+ line on opening weekend (which is May long, so add in extra volume of other non-biker WB customers standing in the same line for sightseeing and other tickets). I fucking called them multiple times asking if my pass would work over a month ago and was told my 2017/18 WB ski pass would work fine.

Email COO psonntag@vailresorts.com to complain about this bullshit.

First world problems buttercup, take it easy. You are from the city aren't you?

I am so looking forward for Bike Park season to return. I just needed to post somewhere about it.

It's been killer lately and running soo good.

Early spring is also where it is at up here!

She's clear, was running good last weekend.

No different than having the snow making systems in the winter, and you don't have to worry about the lines freezing.
