OK, here it is.  The trip you’ve all been waiting paitiently for. 

13 maniacs from the UK. 

13.

Jedi, Skip, Chaos, Llew, Rocket, Emandem, Marvellous (or Rowan), Stuff, Ed, Mark, Pierre, Stew, and Paul (or Pole as I hear it pronounced).

With myself, Barb, and our illustrious assistant Nelly of To the Top Freeriding that’s 16.

That’s way too many.  I figured after a day at Whistler we’d be cutting that number back a bit.

(For those of you who don’t know yet, Whistleris a bit of a meat grinder.)

Anyway, here’s the boys getting unloaded at midnite at Casa de Smokie. 

 

We got up early and headed straight to Whistler with the crew.  Here we are up on the top of Garbonzo getting to know each other.

 

…and riding it. 

Here’s Skip dropping a rack face on Original Sin.

The soon to be infamous Chaos on the Clown Shoes drop.

Well, we got through the day without incident, and all had a great day.  We spent the night at Ticket to Ride BC, the best accomodations in Whistler at only $30 a night.

One day down.  Good start.  Tally ho gents!
