I find almost every time I go the lines are busy until 12. That seems to be when people are just starting their day and doing their first run. Everyone always assumes the trails will be crowded. They're never busy during crankworx.
True. Although monday evening 5–8 was very crowded! People were standing almost to the beginning of the line, both singles and group lines. Don’t know why though.

Strange. Never seen it busy in the evening. Racers practicing maybe?

Monday evening was training for both Garbo and A-Line races. Racers get line priority. It was also women's night.

It was pretty rammed again tonight.

Crankworx is busy. Water is wet. Fire is hot.

A lot of people ride down to hecklers rock to watch the Canadian open, then just ride Bline down after the 12 beers they have had. There are some crashes, but it can be a hilarious train down the mountain too.

Haha I can imagine. We might just do that... where are other good spots to spectate the DH? The lower woods section? Thinking it'd be easier to walk in there.

Anyone have any insite on conditions after crankworx? Are the brake bumps big enough to burry a small child?

Pretty much, but crews are usually out after doing a rebuff on the heavy abused Trails during Crankworx

Hi y'all. Considering a trip to Whistler and CGP. How is Whistler riding end of September? Trails still being maintained? Rainy/cold? Is the town dead or alive? Any info welcome! Thanks.

Great time to come out.

Trails will still be maintained till they bike park closes for winter.

If it's anything like the past few falls, it won't be cold. Like t shirt weather, not overly hot. Perfect biking weather.

The town is apparently dead in the summer vs the winter but I've never been in the winter, everything will be open and I guess it would be alive.

Winter is crazy ridiculously busy. I love snowboarding but I don't why, I just never never have fun at whistler in the winter. But the wife loves it so I have to go.

End if sept/early oct (until the bike park closes) is perfect. Favourite time to head up. I can ride all day with the cool weather.
