It’s really a shame that the fidlock bottle cage solution won’t work for the size Long geometron g16.. I will forever have to carry my own water.

Hey all,

Washingtonian here.

I usually do a fair bit of Whistler in September through Turkey Day, but with the Fitz closed and the village gondola closing after Sept. 6th, I don’t really feel as if Whistler will be the fun Fall destination it usually is for me. 

Looking to broaden my horizons by hitting up some of the BC bike parks. Would love to just get intimate with a single park. Was strongly considering Sun Peaks for its proximity and supposed easy parking lot camping, but I see no mention of a Fall Pass and a full unlimited is out of my price range (already have a Whistler pass for this year).

Anyone know if any BC parks typically offer this sort of thing outside of Sun Peaks?

I work in the industry as a full time, paid professional trail builder here in Washington if that is any consideration.

Bonus points for cheapo camping. Was planning a two week trip. 

Will be rocking the DH bike.

Rode a crazy amount of laps yesterday as the line was short. It’s true, fitz is running pretty well. Most trails were open, sans Clown Shoes, the now destroyed Family Cross, lowest part of Canadian Open and all of Joyride (Dirt Merchant was closed too, obviously). Dirt was quicker and lines were short. Broke my derailleur and chain, so went home early. Cheers for a great season Whistler.

I’ll update later in the day about how the park was today. Yesterday was skip, but the park did open some tech laps such as crack addict and schleyer so not all is lost.

If I were looking for slabs around Alice Lake, id point you towards Hueso or Gouranga and trails off that area.  You can do some repeat loops of those with rides up Tracks From Hell or Fifty Shades of Green (and Fifty Shades more) depending on which one you decide to ride down.  Trails like Rupert and LOA have some smaller slab and less technical action if that is your preference.

Looking for tech and slabs. Gotta get the most out of Canada while I can. Back in Washington, rock riding is more scarce.

just gonna put that here.

What a rad weather website! Thanks bud!

Gonna spend the day riding some legendary tech trails that are still open around Whistler before heading down to Squamish.

Anyone have any good recommendations on loops in Alice Lake to make? I was hoping to just ride slabs. B. Beach would be full awesome to ride on the way out as well, but directions seem very difficult to come by.

Fairly sure the season is over. Most runs closed sans A-Line,  oriental express, B-Line and Crank it Up. Rain this weekend may help clear it up. Lift lines are nonexistent  though.

Care to enlighten me about the slabs? I don’t get how you could not want to ride them all day every day. Spent the last couple of days in Pemberton hitting them and only wish I could get more. Probably helps I come from an area without them...

I wonder if creekside just doesn’t have that many ? None of the new trails really have a lot of slabs, nor does BCs or RDS (a couple sure, but not like Garbo..).

Dirt Merchant was open all day. Lines were shit all day as well. Both in Garbo and the Fitz. Mostly a jump day with a good last hurrah on everyone’s favorite gnarly trail in whistler.

Damn. Was hoping. That trail needs to be laid to rest I suppose. Does anyone actually like it? 

So no duffman/No Duff/MRT/Renegade for the rest of the season then? Shit. Some of my very favorite trails and the main reason I go to Garbo apart from OG Sin/In Deep
