Garbi was choice today. I enjoyed the plethora that the "chana" area offered. Being higher on the mountain, the "sanagalu" zone is always a touch cooler, and the trails, definitely more tacky. I went riding with some long time bike park locals who were up there at the start of this area when it was referred to as "ceci" section; back in 1872.
Was a good day. I love the trails on Bengal gram. DS

I've also been privy to the fact that it's not A-Line... It's actually pronounced "Oi"-Line, due to its lineage tracing back to both the UK pioneers who designed the first "hit" on the trails, and the irreverent Aussies who nailed these "hits" with reckless abandon. Circa 214 BC, according to Whistler's archive.

Anyone know if they are planning on completing that Blue Velvet to CIU connector this season? Looks like a pretty cool idea.

Dry and hot. Top of the World is cool for the first bit. I'm sure there are plans to make it more of a trail for the rest of it. Awesome to be on the peak with your bike (legally
)

'twas a ghost town in the park today. Now trying to find bike parking for the bars was a different story.
There is a new trail cut in off of upper b-line that crosses the ski run and then cuts into smoke n mirrors. Top of the World has some new sections open too. Everything else is dry and dusty, and it's hot. On a side note, after 14 days in the park including 2 on a Flatline, my wife is ready to ditch the SX Trail and get something more park-friendly. Maybe I can figure out a way to make her next bike purchase work in my favour.
