ok..so victoria is pretty bad if you a pretty good dh er... i'd recommend broom hill for some sweet looking shit, and some gappers..ladders..but the must do..it Mt.Prevost in Duncan about an hour away from victoria..it's where they filmed Steve Smith in the new seasons film..it's the shit..you have to be shuttled but it's so worth it..like 20min up in a car..and just endless fun dh down to the bottom..lots of snow up there right now so it depends when your coming, let me know when your coming too. that or you can head up to Nanaimo and shred Hammerfest, or Rollercoaster..all great dh spots..or doumont just look them up on google and there will be some directions

hmmm thats a tough one, we just got dumped with some weird snow, i'm sure you know if your from washington. So alot of stuff is out. If you dirt jump i know there are some dirtjumps near teh University Of Victoria not sure where cause i've never been there..but around the campus in some park.. alot of those mountains are pretty much off limits right now.. mt.prevost will probably have like 2 feet of snow hammerfest has like 1 i was up there today.. so i would recommend maybe broom hill or the dirt jumps..not much in victoria

Try Hartland/ Mt. Work. It's okay, the good trails are at the top of the mountain, but you have to bike/walk up there. Go to www.simbs.com to get more info.
