After much blood sweat and tears the Whistler bike park finially completed the much anticipated Crank it Up trail!! Although only a blue run, it definitely fills a void for the beginner riders and it is a super fun fast flowy trail for those with more experience under their belt!

In honour of our new trail, this week the Events Dept. decided to use it for the Phat Wednesday race. It was an awesome sunny afternoon and about 140 riders showed up to compete (a special mention to the 22 riders in the womens category)… here are some pics

Mountain Biking in Kamloops

For May long weekend a group of us decided to book a cabin at Lac La Jeune. Just 15min out of Kamloops on a beautiful alpine lake, we booked out a 4 plex cabin for 12 of our closest friends!! It was a great weekend, with loads of mountain biking and dirt biking… the highlights being Harper Mountain and the Kamloops Bike ranch at Juniper.

Just opposite out cabin was an old ski hill (Stake Lake), which provided some awesome XC mountain biking, dirt biking and a great place for everyone to play!

Nice views after an awesome XC climb. Bring on the downhill!!

Wakeboarding

Its not everyday you get to go wakeboarding on the same day you go snow skiing, let alone do it in the same town.

We went skiing on Blackcomb in the morning, the snow was awesome and the sun was shining. On the way home we got the phone call to go wake boarding on Green Lake, so we thought, why not.

Here are some photos from wakeboarding, sure the water was cold but if you’re in a wetsuit  nice and thick then it no problem.
