Wait 6 days and check the weather before you come up, it looks good for the week but who knows right, just come prepared.....just remember its generally cooler at the top of Fitz then the bottom.....

two days ago was shorts and short sleeves knee pads and full face, that's it and last run was at 7pm... so if it's sunny, don't worry, you can maybe just take a light jacket for the chair lift (because pushed our bikes so...)

I forgot to ask what tires if its going to be slimy down Aline and dm (if its open) I got a Minion dhf sticky front and a high roller C3 for that rear or should I put of a michelin comp 24 on the rear since the highroller is more dry conditions?

i have no ideas... am always riding with the same Syncros tires... but anyway if we don't get 5 days of heavy sun, will be a bit slippery on some sections of a-line, got a crash last time a bit to fast in a muddy berm but still tons of fun... i won't help you on that one, sorry.

I'm so stoked, first time up there.
I'm assuming a schwalbe Al mighty and a nevegal will suffice?
Oh, and look for a kid riding a 2004 4by with a sherman flick, blue and white giro mad max, and another guy on an 05 shore with a travis, also wearing a mad max. That'll be Me and Rampage up there, see you guys at the lifts.
