outstanding...

when i say the trails were as DRY as august im not kidding....

only a few trails were closed but otherwise everything was open..

day was stellar and hella busy...

almost 2 hours from arrving to getting pass/Fitz lineup for first run...

but it was SO worth it...shook the rust off my A-line hibernation quite well...

now to get my Demo9 finished off and ride it next trip up.

[freerider888]

It was awesome. My dad took me at 8:30 to get seasons passes and I got the 15th chair up. Everything was in awesome condition for opening day. I made 13 runs I think which was okay for me and I was able to ride all the trails I wanted except Crabapple Hits and Lower Whistler Downhill.

[Battlecat]

Damn work. i will try and book off for next weekend or the next. I want to get up there sooo badly

[Chump]

Time for a roadtrip in a month I must say.

[mr_fungle]

Whistler was prime!

It was the best opening day in history - most of the lower trails are open, dry and buffed. A couple of minor minor wet spots on Dirt Merch, but that was it. So nice to be back - cannot wait for next weekend!

[axisofevelknievel]

A bit of mud, but some areas were so dry they seemed almost dusty. Trails were in great shape and I had forgotten how much fun a day in the park can be.

[PhotoFyffer]

it was so good, I was on first chair second down, the place was prime. Hope too see u all there on sunday.

[SIDESHOW]

Haha you should see me I am all over the map. I can't even table, let alone jump a bike. I need some good Aline runs for practice.

so good i dropped and bought a seasons.

[Wack]

It's Whistler, even at its worst it's awesome. Conditions were great, the hour long wait for the season pass sucked. They should have some way to get it in advance, at very least if your a pass holder from last year.
If you do have last years pass take it with you it makes getting this years a little quicker, wish they had let people know that.
Enough bitching, Whistler is open. It doesn't get any better than that.

[apeshape]

After a stint in the pass line up, it was 6 hours of smiling, going pedal, pedal, pedal, "wheeeeeeeeee", jump, "wheeeeeeeeee" followed by being tired, and when it was all over I had a beer.

Best opening day I've experienced in the BikePark.

[IFO]

Which would be... tomorrow?

Wasn't your white demo 9 finished a while back? (minus your dream fork)

yeah thats the problem..

no fork curently... least not attached to the frame :dizzy:

[Straw]

I drove by on my commuter bike today before work, and just watched everyone coming down. It was so awesome! It was great to see the big bikes in the village again, and have the whole town reverting back to biking!

I can't wait to get up there. But it won't be for a few weeks still...have to round up the money for a pass. Booooooo.

I saw a few fellow hardtail heros (makes me feel better about my meagre rig) and looked forward to getting my forarms worked on ALine!

Saw an Intense VPX too. Nice bike.

[NooNer]

[the flying moose]

[Chief]

Just wondering how bad those things can get. I know for the HT'ers its gets the arms tired, but for fullys is it a big problem?
chad

[Dantes Inferno]

the studder bumps arent bad on fullies if your try and manual through them. but they arent really big enough to let the front suspension absorb them, plus they are so rapid that forks just dont got the speed to handle them. So your fingers get sore, but thats it.

[thom9719]

anyone know for sure when garbonzo opens? i have heard everthing from this weekend all the way to july 1st
