Also known as the Geile Titten tour of 2011. Not because we found any, it just sounds awesome with a Bavarian accent. So cheesy, they’re even staying in a faux Bavarian haus in Whistledog. Of course, it’s run by a pair of Brits, but when in Whistler… Being a Brit, we got Martin to drive[...]

The Dreaded Thirteenth Day. Ahhh, but 13 is a lucky number to the Welsh. So…Holly would be the only soul brave enough to try out the Whistler classics like A River Runs Through It. The rest of them were too scared, and went downhilling in the bike park. How odd…. I guess they were put[...]

Well, we left the pair of them in some sort of second rate flophouse in Whistler. I guess they got sort of bored with the place…. ..because Oli asked Farah to marry him, and she went for it. Congratulations are in order. Now get to work! Barb and I are waiting for you to have[...]

The dreaded 13th day. Ah, lets just go to Whistler. I don’t usually pics at Whistler, but we got In Deep early, so here you go. Gratuitous Whistler bear shots. A stepup and I’m out….
Ok, it’s time to get outta here. But not before we say “howdy, y’all!” to Wyld Willy. I had a quick visit and got all styled out with some fresh Spectrum Techwear goodies. As it was raining, we made the call to hit the Shore on the way home. My first ride there in about[...]

The traditional gratuitious bear shot. Another rad day of shredding today. As it was an extended play session, it was also a day to get the gear dialled in. Had a quick visit with Tyler over at SRAM to change out a rear spring. For anyone thinking of doing a Vivid on a Knolly, consider[...]

Took a bunch of the locals that met through the club to Whistler for the weekend. first off, it was time to set a new record for throwing money into the van…. Our Kelowna vibe was immediately identifiable on arrival. Here’s Jack and some of the Venture Gear guys wowing a crowd of Euro Trash[...]

Back to Whistler. We had hoped to get up Rainbow today, but I wasn’t really willing to go unless t was sunny, and it most definitely was NOT sunny up there today. Full on massive black clouds sitting right on the landing zone. Oh well, lets go session A River Runs Through it. One nice[...]

Holger and Karen have returned, with many, many Germans. I think there were around 20 of them, but it was hard to keep track. Lots of them at any rate. Apparently they’ve had worse luck than us with the weather this season, and they brought it with them. First snow of the year. Not that[...]

A bit of an Allied Assault on Rainbow for today. I think we picked a good day for it too. Our C-I-C, Oscar, managed to take himself outta the fight the day before. Something about taking it easy and not doing anything hard. Then they go out and try to hammer A River Runs Through[...]

Skiing has been stupidly epic. I had three Cypress powder days recently. This isn’t one of them. That’s my buddy Derek shredding the trees at Apex. He’s about 50 feet from the chair here. Same day, different guy, out of bounds. This is from a recent trip to Whistler. It’s a Bruce Rowles shot (it’s[...]

I’m sure glad to be back. Oh yeah. …and a new website for you to play with too. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any serious issue with the site. It’s got a lot of flash n it, so make sure you’ve got the latest player. There’s a few things not[...]

Another day at the park, this time with the emphasis on the Garbonzo area. Time to ‘step it up’ as it were. As usual, Stefan was right there. One thing all these guys could do is ride steep, wet, gnarly stuff. Funny, that’s usually the hardest thing for everyone to get their heads around. Peter[...]

Our crew was a pretty good size and mix: we had Stefan and Ralph (“We are from East Germany and we are not homosexuals”); an older couple, Herb and Linda, who also know my good buddies the Swetlands up in the Koots; another Stefan who is an engineer for Airbus; Peter, an electrical engineer; Ben,[...]
