it was actually pretty busy, 15 minutes or so for the lift, 10 for the gondy.....was wet, but not bad, I had a killer day, got lots of laps in, was loving my new front tire, wish I'd got one sooner! a bit slimy in places but still good for railing! I'm so diggin' riding the hardtail....I was getting so hackish on my dh bike, good to get the smoothness back!

I'm on my kona stuff, army green, singlecrown z1, 321 wheels, maxxis tires....today I brought out the camo pants and black shirt, but typically I can be easily recognized by my bright orange hawaiian shirt.....

Super awesome. Pretty muddy but nothing compared to yesterday (Friday) Angry pirate is still soaked and Schleyer, clown shoes, joyride, national course and whistler downhill are still pretty slick. Apparentley it is supposed to pour tonight but I'm fine with that. Everything is looking pretty good.

Sweet...I'll see you up there for sure some time this season. Have to pick up a seasons first, but I figure I'll be the only person on my type of bike. I have some super cool old-school Roach leg armour with flames stitched on. I love them!

I found it to be rather good! Heeellllloooooooooooo Nurse!!!! Dave and I got 6 runs in. Did most of A-line, but someone augered in, and they told some of us to hit the rod... Hope he's all right. My apologies to the guy I cut off at the drops. I am very sorry mate... I got some air, and I did do the entry drop at A-line, Dave and I mostly hit Blue runs... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT, gotta go again when it's nice and DRY.

Was pretty sweet today! Abit wet and such but for the most part exCELLENT!!!!! It was incredible with my hope 6's and dorados...look foreward to going up more thats for sure.
Was sorta slimy in some places, biker-x closed, and it won't be nice tomorrow due to the terrential rain tonight
Monday might be the 2nd best day to go weather permitting, and next weekend will def be good.
SOOOO MANY PEOPLE TODAY, but it was good
Peace

i had a blast! i went up by myself and it was so fun. The new bike was unreal and felt so much easier to throw around and drive comapred to my old ogre bike. Cant wait to hit it up again.

I WAS supposed to go up yesterday. The trip was planned out 45 days ago and I was so looking forward to it.
Then, in the shop getting my cranks installed last week, they discovered the world's biggest crack on my headtube weld. Trip was over for me. :(
Damn, and looking at the replies on here, the conditions were perfect.
