whistler in the rain...

[seand]

So ill be up there this upcoming weekend and i see its going to be a rainy weekend. monday is our day at whistler and i just wanted to know if they have the bike park open when its raining; do they limit operations; etc ???

ive never been there for anything but for tracking fresh powder, so i dont know how they operate for summer stuff...

[dirty-bike]

lots of trails will get closed before noon...I'd wait for good weather to ride whistler :)

[seand]

well thats all good and dandy, but when you live say...6 hours away and you dont get many 3 day weekends...you cant be a choosy kinda rider...

i ride when i can, and this upcoming weekend is one of them 3 day weekends...

ehhh, if i cant ride whistler monday, ill have to trek down to squamish or something...no biggie :)

[dirty-bike]

exactly...ride somewhere where rain doesn't matter as much, fromme, squamish, sumas, vedder etc.

it's your money d00d...

[seand]

tis why i was asking :) if they close trails...theeeen i wont bother..

if they stay open, they ill ride there :)

thanks for the info!

[wilkez]

they usually close dh and joyride cuz they are all rock and get super slick. the other trails are usually good to go tho

[freerider guy]

I've never ridden a-line when it was wet but isn't it slippery from the mud?

[ronald55555]

i rode it in the rain/hail before, i recommand you not to, you get wet, cold, hungry and wanna pee, it's miserable. my friend went off a lil cliff too cuz it was slippery.

yeha if it rains pretty hard expect the good trails to close....

:mad:

that suks, but it does help avoid damaging the trails amd causing more work for teh trail workers...

dam weather anyways.... Whistler needs to buy a weather making machine for the summit...:D

[seand]

dome the entire town.
come winter time, make every day a fresh sunny powder day..
come summer, every day is a semi-warm sunny day


now that would be nice :)

A line is usually closed when it rains. I just got home from Whistler - and it had just started to rain. I will call there tomorrow, and let you know what there rain policy is. My offer for a Squamish ride is still open. I'll go to Whis, too. Got my seasons pass today. :cool:

[seand]

hey zed - id rather a squamish ride :)

i hate skiing in the rain, and to keep with the tradition, i wont bike at a ski resort in the rain :lol:

monday will be squamish...youll just have to get me dirs as to where to meet up with ya and whoever else is going to ride...
