Yes. I predict they will only open the rock slab under the Fitz chair.

Haha but seriously I don't expect A-Line or DM to be open. But I do predict Crank It Up and B-Line.

We should skip to early July when everything is open...

New trails? Take a look at the trail map, Garbonzo, few things that were unofficial last year are official this year. Some of the builders socials may have some clues on what may be open on opening day.

I'm curious how the Schleyer drop is going to work now with that new lift tower in the way.

Yo guys, what are the possibilities of servicing Fox 40 and Float X2 in Whistler in case of failure? I'm curious about prices and waiting times. Not sure how many replacement parts should I take for a 1-month trip or everything can be fixed on-site if needed. Cheers for any info!

Oh yeah I see that.
In Garbo: Too Mushroom, for a double black tech El Gordabata and Patrol Rock. I also remember riding Lemon Peel but not seeing Lemonade last year.

For Creekside: Spingnar, Curque Du Soil, Bengal Bear and Line of Control, Also I could be wrong but I don’t remember seeing OSESA last year so I think that’s new too!

Corsa is very good but if you don't want to leg it to Squamish I was going to recommend Vorsprung till I saw it sold suspension services business to S4 which is Whistler - based - see https://s4suspension.com/pages/contact

Missfire is now a double-black? I'm curious as to what changed on the trail to trigger the increased rating.

I remember it being one of the more sketchy single blacks. Like he said below they probably just left it raw. The wholes were pretty big last July.

Agreed, some spots were getting pretty rugged by early August.

I will say that TotW -> Miss Fire -> Delayed Fuse was a shitload of fun if you enjoy tech trails.
