Blue trail from end of fatcrobat to top of fitz. 2.3 km, like a machine built ninja cougar. Hopefully about 1/1.5 weeks out. Mostly built last year, just fixing some drainage issues.

Gonna be one of my last questions lol, is there much of a difference in shop prices between Vancouver and Whistler? Especially regarding Chromag components?

Thanks!

Best way to do it would be to drop by Chromag directly and look for a sale. Shop prices will be the same. Chromag components are highly coveted

Where do you all recommend getting a rental/demo bike in the village? Looks like about a million shops, half of which demo norcos. First time going up there, first time on a DH bike. God help me.
Bike Co is pretty good. They are in the IGA Marketplace complex. You can rent a DH bike for $119 a day, which is cheaper than some other shops. I rented a Wilson a few weeks ago & it was fine. 4370 Lorimer Road, Whistler.

Broken bike before the trip/ mid trip . Wanting to try a specific model , not actually owning a proper dh bike. Lots of reasons to pay the 120$ Off the top of my head

I pay the 120$ or what ever it is just to ride and try different bikes. Rode the new Norco the other day and it was a blast.

That is definitely a good idea especially if you are looking to buy a new bike. Some places you can even rent one bike for a half day & then rent a different bike for the other half.
