Well Ive had this truck for awhile now and finally got some bigger tires on it and a leveling kit. I am now having the local welding shop make me a bike rack for the back so I can load 4-5 DH bikes with the tailgate up. Does anyone have some pics of the chairlift bike racks at Whislter. I want to be able to load the bikes whole at an angle. The welding shop just wants something to sort of go by.

Try the whistler website?
I cant even get a pic for you, its all been dismantled
Not great
I'm actually needing to get a photo of it too for our local ski resorts as reference for the "future". Anybody got a few good video stills from Earthed. I remember seeing some really good footage on there.
Here's a future reference for your local ski resort... get a high speed quad.bizutch said:

Next time your in Knoxville, bring your Soul Cylces and we'll ride some at Bigfoot and my trails. Now that DH season is over its time to DJ and goof-off.biggins said:

If I can see one I will take the pic. But like Is aid everything has been converted for winter. They used to have them on the front of the first aid truck but it has been removed...I will keep an eye out.Kanter said:
He can put bikes in fully assembled with a bed extender. I've got a decent rack that I'll take some pics of. I can fit three DH bikes with plenty of room in my Frontier. I actually will probably mod it so I can fit 4. I wouldn't recommend using metal for the rack though. The weight will add up quick, a PVC pipe, or wood is lighter and still just as tough.
My girlfriend took this picture of our bikes on the lift at Blue Mountain in Ontario, Canada. Blue Mountain was an Intrawest resort so these were based off the Whistler model. However, these are attached to the same line the bucket-style gondolas run on so it disconnects from the line at the loading hut. It allows the liftees enough time to load 6 bikes. I'll try and find a better picture that shows the whole setup.

Here's another, not so good cuz of the sun but you can see the front part of the unit.
Also, check out the promo video, there should be a video of them loading the bikes on: http://www.bluemountain.ca/mtnbike.htm#
Edit: Nevermind, I just watched the vid again, there isn't any shots of the bike racks.

Thanks but not quite what Im looking for. The bikes have to load at an angle so I can shut the tailgate. The F150 tailgate has some sort of mechaism in it to make it feal light when you open an close it. It you leave the tailgate down it bounces up and down on bumps when driving. I have tied the tailgate down before with a bunge but that is sort of getto. I would like to load the bike at an angle and close the tailgate. If I had 4-5 Whistler bike racks mounted at an angle to a frame in the bed of the truck that would be perfect. Ill keep looking. Maybe the welding shop can just come up with something simple and effective.
