Bike show today. So that means lots of walking and looking for beers.
Also going to break the news to my riding buddies this year, that I'm not getting a DH lift pass. Only used it 4 times last season and $300 is a lot of coin. I want to go exploring on more unknown trails this summer. Plus the local DH trails never change, so its become pretty mehhhh over the years.
In all fairness, I wouldn't call the local DH hill real DH. More like lift accessed trail riding.
You can redeem yourself with pics from the bike show though.

Wife and I always pick up up early at the end of the prior season, then it's paid for itself after 3 different trips.
edit: early price is a little better at ~$150 instead of the current $300.
Keep in mind that they are planning to blast the Stanley Slide path in the early afternoon today - plan accordingly.Hello all. I do not like rising early. But I do like skiing.
I should buy a condo.
