So friday night I will be jumping in my buddys land rover and sleeping while he drives us up to to whistler (ahh yah im spoiled i know). Its my friends Bday and he decided what better way to spend it then riding bikes in canadia. I am a Whistler virgin and this week is going to be HELL...

Kinda like the week leading up to your Bday when your dad tells you he got you a stripper cause your turning 16.

So I have seen a few videos or Aline and other trails, But really im going up there blind. I have people to show me around who will be there. And I know im going to come back a changed rider. I am sooo excited. Went to Seatac today to make sure I still knew how to catch some air (i do).

Is anyone going to be up there this coming weekend besides Ash (netguy)??

Is Whistler fully melted-out yet? We're still boarding at Squaw with like a 10' base in spots.

 

[BuddhaRoadkill]

His B-Day and he's driving? Your an asshole.

If your up there for a week, hit Squamish as well. Short trip down the road, local shop for map, scare yourself silly. Hmmm, it's shuttle though. Might have to make friends while your at whistler to grab another rider.

I may be heading up this weekend as well for a friends bday.. wierd. Wont ride though.. since I tore part of my rotator cuff at Whistler last weekend (my first time there). :mumble:

 

[ffonsok]

The trail crew has been clearing it (most) all away. There are a few piles of the white stuff as well as some patches here and there. But, aside from some mud, the trails are in great shape.:love:

 

[cordlikesbikes]

yeah it was prime up there over the weekend. unfortunately its supposed to rain all week so bring all your armor and a change of panties:love: ill be there friday morning untill sunday night with a friend of mine for his birthday (same guy Moto is talking about) we'll both be on demo 8's, one black with a 66rc and the other silver with a black travis and white wheels. see you there!

 

[360]

i'll be there (because i live there ) hopefully i'll have recovered by then and my finger hopefully isn't broken. If so, big guy on a DHR with a 40, say hello!

 

[HenryTheHammer]

Got the long weekend hooked up too! Silver Demo9/888/Gold swing arm. Probably be flying solo so I'd love to hook up with some peeps. Think I'll be staying at the CG...or in the parking lot.

 

[fuzzycatnuts]

Gtmoto how did you hurt your sholder? That sucks, few years ago I rebroke my colar bone 1st day, we were going to be there for the whole week to .

 

[vibiker]

.... black travis and white wheels.

So does that mean that you didn't kill your rim?

[Netguy]

So far, the rain is holding off. Some showers last night, and then a couple of small sprinkles today. I rode the park yesterday. Aline and DM are still muddy in places, however trails like LowerJoyride, Clownshoes and Detroit RC are mint right now.

 

[scbiker06]

[bikingisbetter]

im trying to decide if i shld go memorial weekend, its my friends birthday and she wants me home....
plus its sopposed to be all wet and crap there, the 5 hr drive from seattle may not be worth it...
on the other hand, its whistler

 

[HenryTheHammer]

Gtmoto how did you hurt your sholder? That sucks, few years ago I rebroke my colar bone 1st day, we were going to be there for the whole week to .

Lets just say, I didnt brake check before the rock drop on A-line.. flat landed.. got bucked off... etc, etc...

It's feeling alot better... if I dont got to whistler this weekend, I may head to SST and do some "physical therapy"

 

[scbiker06]

i'm going for sure... so many people are goin... it's gonna be soaked... so i dont know if i'll ride. i have a pass and a sprained foot. so yea. but i'll look for people.

 

[fuzzycatnuts]

Gtmoto you still able to ride then? My buddy did that and he was in serios pain and out for awhile. might see you out at sst!

 

[richcreek]

i'll be there (because i live there ) hopefully i'll have recovered by then and my finger hopefully isn't broken. If so, big guy on a DHR with a 40, say hello!

you lucky bastard! :redhot: :redhot: :redhot:

 

[GrapeApe79]

Just got back. Its really a great time to be up there. Even though its kinda rainy, its keeping dust off the trails and the cool temps are nice when you've got the full-faced. The snow is pretty much melted on the lower mountain (at least they've done a great job clearing the trails), but the upper mountain probably won't be open for quite a while. Have fun!! I'll be up again in 2 weeks!!

havent ridden since.. and ya.. its painful. I'll take my bike with me to SST if I go this weekend and see how it feels. If I can lift my bike to put it on top of my car, i'll ride.. I'll probably pass on Whistler this weeked, i'd be tempted to ride. Maybe i'll come out and take pics at SST.

Well i got nothing good from the parents on either... But my point is... if your getting one at 16 then your gunna be ****ing STOKED!!!

Ill be on a black Giant STP hardtail with Junior t fork and Gold answer bars. Black fullface and so far blue goggles. Will be with someone with a Bullet and yadda yadda...

I dunno if sprint will let me use my phone too much up there withough bending me over, but I could/can try to send people IM's or maybe we could meet up somewhere during the day to catch some runs?

 

[elRey]

Someone better post pics. Soon.

 

[Secret Squirrel]

I'm headed up Friday afternoon!!! Be there riding Sat. & Sun.!!! w00t!! Look for the guy with a Brand Spankin' NEW Orange Rotec with an Avy and trip 8. :love: :love: Oh....and I'm big. Wife's comin' along too...I'll see if I can persuade her to participate in her inaugural lift serviced bike ride.... We'll see how that goes...she might be the one firmly planted in the medical building just waiting for me to be carted in...

Oh yeah...this will be my first time up there...so if anyone sees me looking lost...or ass-over-tea kettle somewhere, just smack the back of the helmet. I'll know...

L8r,
Squirrel

I'll be riding a silver Demo8 w/ Fox40 and complete Sram X.0 components.

 

[Big B]

Netguy,
Can you give another trail report?

I'm going to be up there Saturday and Sunday. It's supposed to rain a little, which is a bummer cause I've been looking forward to riding the trails with ladders. Seems like they're always closed or super sketchy when I go up there. I guess the rain follows me...
