Anyone have any experience with bike storage through the Garbanzo Downhill Rental Store? I see it advertised on their website but they don't advertise the price... Also I'm hoping to find out what the service is like and how secure the bikes are? Do employees only have access to the bikes (my preference) or is it a room that anyone can enter?

I read that the storage is 15 cad a day.

I believe you can also drop it off while you go for lunch or whatever. It used to be 5 bucks back in the day. Dunno what it is now.

I'm not sure what any of you expected re: lineups. It's always like this when the weather is nice. Every year,

she’s busy today. Singles and regular line is lined up outside of the corrals to the steps. Trails are running great. Aline running fast. Dirty is closed, heard some tress are down on it not sure if it will open this weekend.

There's 4 machines including a rock hammer working on the end of it to finish the upgrades from last year. It will not be opening this weekend but we are pulling out all the stops to get it ready as soon as possible!

ruttabaga will be the alternate line for those not comfortable with the new, bigger stuff on the bottom half of dirt merchant. Do not expect ride arounds on the bottom half of merchant.

May long weekend and bike park opening, it's bound to be busy. Bike park was dead on Friday afternoon, apparently everyone only rides when the sun is out?

With less than 12 hours to go, what exactly is the early bird “bonus” that comes with a pass and can you get it with a ten day pass?

Or they feel bad about wrecking trails. Not saying paying customers shouldn't be able to do whatever but Friday was really hard to watch.
