Whistler's riding season has come to a close. The days are short, snow has begun to fall, and the bike park is shut down for the winter. Ski season is about to begin, with opening day being this Saturday. Last month was an entirely different story. Taking advantage of the last stretch of nice weather, Zander ripped a couple of the valley's hidden gems, far away from the lift lines.

 Dear Santa,

For Christmas this year I would very much like some loam. If you do not know what that is Santa, its the same texture as the snow you are all too familiar with, and the direct opposite of UK gloop.

Please Santa, please :'(

(1) S-works enduro

 Rode the park for 2 seasons then bought an enduro... Best decision of my life. Some of those "XC" trail are much gnarlier than anything in the park, plus you get access to a much better terrain quality not to mention the calm of not being in the park. This is what mountain bike is all about right there my friends.

 not everyone forgets! when I lived in whistler i rode the majority of the time on the valley trails. also, crazy that some of those shots were filmed right off of roads in the various whistler neighborhoods (like the jumpline!). whistler is a mecca!

 Ahh. Riding in day light. I miss that. By the time I finish work, it's dark. Throw the light on and ride adds a different element to the trail but I still miss daylight.

 Sick edit and riding but what is the name of the trail system in the valley? is it just Whistler's trails in the valley? haha, cuz i know there is lost lake trails but those might not be them.

 this map will give you an idea, the whole area is covered in trails; trailcheck.in

 Trails in this video are off the far side of lake around the back road, they are generally called the westside trails

 Love the use of natural features on the trails, traversing cleaned slabs and dropping off boulders
