The start of Original Sin still looks like a river, however about half way down the first section, it starts to dry out quite nicely.

Freight Train is pretty much dry from top to bottom, besides a few shallow rivers crossing the trail here and there.

In Deep and Goats Gully are drying out. The top halves of both trails still have their share of slippery roots and rocks, however nothing like last weekend. A complete turnaround. Most of the dirt is tacky.

The bottom half of the mountain is bone dry.

wow...Garbonzo is prime. A few puddles at the top of Original Sin, but otherwise everything is tacky and fast!

In Deep is much better than last week, Captain Safety's rock wall was conquered, Duffman was no match. Bad ass.

I love sticky tires, bash guards, and 8" travel forks. I even made a little song about them after laying waste to Captain Safety.

Whistler rules.

well I'm back home...got back today.

Yeah that crash on Wed. was very unfortunate. :plthumbsdown: I crashed on one of the lamest jump on the top, bucked me and landed on my face from pretty fokin high up… rode all the gnarly stuff in the AM at the top with Mani, Ender and Eric…it was pretty slick. of all the places I could have crashed, I can’t believe I ate it on a lame jump…oh well.

I'm going to the Dr. Tomorrow - I think I have a broken rib. :( I was worried that my finger was going to give me a hard time, but it was my rib that hurt the most. I rode all day Thursday and was hurting pretty good, but it was manageable. Friday I was simply a passenger on my bike and couldn’t hold on and couldn’t move my bike around. Heck, I can barely get out of bed....Will know more tomorrow.

Mani and ThePriceSeliger - as always great riding with you guys! fun times for sure.. Also finally got to ride with Oly last Sunday! that was also great!!

Can't wait to go back.

Did Garbanzo a couple times on Saturday - mainly Freight Train and Original Sin, Duffman - it was nice. Of course had to run A-line too.

It was fun riding with you too. Sucks about the crashes. I did pretty good staying off the dirt, but there were too many close calls on A-line. First day and A-line is a big mistake... We ended up rocking a few mellow trails. Karate Monkey was a blast...

Heal up...

aside from Lake Origin Sin on the upper part of OS, up top was running amazing. The only thing we didn't hit was capt safety. In Deep was running too good to skip. Lower was good too but...yeah :)

I forgot how interesting no duff was...and we managed to not touch a-line or dirt merchant the entire time....odd enough, we didn't miss either of them.

Thanks to the awesome heat, we didn't leave upper til they closed the lifts...solid way to spend a few days.

Highlight goes to Jerry for riding his bike-cycle down; from tree fort on orig sin->in deep->fatcrobat->too tight->angry pirate->crack addict->monkey hands->glc drop...with a flat rear. Your poor Sunday must hate you something fierce :D

Just got back now.... Garbonzo is pretty cool right now, with the exception of some deep puddles at the top.
Upper Freight Train needs some work... there are some puddles and ruts right before some of the jumps

cant complain though, I had a great time :)

Word, one of my guys is Jeff Beatty, he is a long time guide there and whistler local as well as Canadian Nat team member. If you are at guide school, you will probably meet him. Another one of my guys landed about 2 weeks ago and will be there for over a month.

Hard to miss us on bright orange 224s. All 3 of us will be through the beginning of August. Will catch up with you this weekend for beers at GLC at least.

Edit: Where is Cittas? I usually eat at GLC or Splitz when I go out.

Acadian: Transcend jersey would have been Nick (SGD from RM). Jeff will be in Mojo stuff.

...or a short walk across to Blackcomb village gets you to Merlins with $5 burgers and $10 pitchers - - hard to beat that. Plus the atmosphere is pretty cool; I like the touch of the Piston Bully cab/DJ stand hanging from the ceiling.
