Garbo opens in mid June. There is still lots of tech to ride in fitz. It's just not as gnarly as the Garbo area.

I would argue that Tech Noir, French Connection and Rock City are among the toughest trails on the hill.

Lower Joyride can be good times too if you take the jank lines. But definitely agreed

And clown shoes, canadian open

Very little north shore these days, a few sections of wood work but all very wide. Some tech into a awkward rock roll corner then some easy wood work to the flow section with the drops then optional tech at the end.

Yeah just watched a pov from last year not overly technical apart from the last tech bit which looks a bit gnar

Always enjoy a good Crack Addict run. That long ladder always seems to be greasy.

Oh ya for sure. But I'm referring to single blacks and "easy" double blacks. Tech noir and French connection are really advanced. No joke is only a single black but I find it's far more techy than the black fitz trails.
