A season in Whistler

Resurrecting this thread -one of the many many reasons why you should be in Whistler right now... this is a big rock roll, I'd guess between 25-30ft high (75ft if using the Pinkbike ruler), on a trail near my house. This was the first time I'd ridden it, notably it was damp, the rock is covered in moss, and you basically go from 0-60km/h (did not measure actual speed, probably a gross exaggeration) in the space of about 1.5 seconds which feels like you've just been shot out of a catapult. I was sh*tting bricks beforehand.
looks rad 
is this the trail you ride home from aline?
Nah, it's not the access trail off A-line, but it's on the same side of the valley and can be reached with a bit of hiking. It's not a marked, legal or easy to find trail though.
Not long to go now. Two weeks on wednesday I should be unpacking my bikes in whistler. Yeh boi!
This thread made me realize how stoked I am about my 2 week trip this August. 
do you know in which chalet you'll staying?
today was amazing....good friends, sun, and tacky trails
EP lodge for a month, then my girlfirend turns up and we will be renting a studio apartment.
Film it. Not the girl...the riding.
This.
no, i meant in which ep lodge, there are like 4 this year. there is one next to our house, one up the street and one somewhere next to the upper village...
2 weeks on Sunday until I'm on the mountain 
Be sure to get out of the park of you've got two weeks to ride. The pedalling is pretty fun too!This thread made me realize how stoked I am about my 2 week trip this August.
Oh, I'm not sure. I'll ask them. Which one do I want to be in?
Also, with regards to the filming. I'll be taking my GoPro HD so there should be a few chest cams floating about later in the summer.
and non-park trails don't turn to mucky goo in the rain....
mmmm, mossy rock faces hidden in the woods....my good buddy dylan didn't mind riding this more than a few times for me.
Kenan pedaling? Only if you put some unheard of trash punk in his iPod.
not really, we ride worse than this on xc bikes usually!
Ha. Too much trash punk, and you cant hear the bears charging at you.
Well, while I can (and do) appreciate the shuttle/lift pig lifestyle, 2 weeks of it can get old. Give the hands a rest for a day! See pic above. It doesn't have to be that crazy, but just being in the trees out here is awesome.
Here are some good suggestions:
