I will definately give you an amen. As of Last year, my favorite trails in order had to be:

1. Gypsy
2. Livewire
3. Karpiel
4. Dogbone
5. Speed Control
6. Phodog
7. Upper Flameout
8. Little Trees

Next season I want to get Sticks & Stones and Dogbone completely dialed because they are super fun and very technical trails.

Yea the reason why I never liked Boondocks last season was because I never got a chance to remember the trail and everyone knows that the very first time you ride a techy trail is not fun until you start remembering where you pedal, brake, and the best line to bomb through. I liked livewire because you could just coast the whole thing and just flow without effort and screw around in the air. Lol, did anyone ride the last day of the season? Oh my god speed control was amazing!!! There was no sand and every berm was just super tacky so that you could blaze through them. That was the best day I have ever had of riding mountain bikes.

Dude Northstar is killer. Can't wait till the summer to go ride there. Only a couple more months to go.

Northstar has really stepped up its game the past couple years. Boondocks was super nice last year compared to other years. and Dogbone/Lower Sticks and Stones are still super sick tech.

so over school. summer needs to come now! hitting up whistler and northstar! stoked

sorry to burst your bubble, i went to whistler last summer before northstar, lets just say northstar kinda sucked, all the burms were blown out etc etc.

if your going to tahoe to ride, try northstar for an afternoon or for the day, but after that, there is a 15min long DH shuttle run above incline village, and it makes northstar look kinda crappy, its 15min long, and there is another 2 miles above the normal starting point that is open only on certain days.
