11 days at the very end of the season for only 285CD HOW GENEROUS!!1 Lift prices are becoming ridiculous.

Did you ever spent time in Whistler? The lift pass is the most affordable thing there... But a visit is worth every penny!

Have you seen the price for winter season passes?

gramboh FL (Sep 28, 2017 at 10:38)

$25.90 a day is less than half the cost of a day ticket, so yeah it IS a generous deal.

@gramboh: Well whats the cost on a full seasons pass... like $600 or so (for 5 months)... so for half that you get 2 weeks at the end of the season...

@bull-dozer: Fall season pass runs from Sept 1 to Oct 9th. So that's 5+ weeks of riding.

SleepingAwake (Sep 28, 2017 at 11:48)

@bull-dozer: it's like 700 ish I believe. But look at it from the other side, it's worth it even if you happen to be there on a two week vacation...

@bull-dozer: but you could have had close to 40 days if you put life on hold a little earlier than the last two weeks...just sayin.

@WhistlerMountainBikePark: You guys are like drug pushers. I just got back from riding 9 full days in the park, and my fall season pass is just sitting there whispering to me that I should skip out of work and head back up for a long closing weekend. Put life on hold.....OK, twist my arm.

To write the password - press on the "views etc" blue lettering that is usually underneath the videos and the password video eh, letterbox? - meaning where you write the password - appears. The video will then appear.
Huzzah!

I love the shot where it is split into three panels, appearing one after the other. Quite unique! Very cool video and very cool looking trail.

That feeling when you've left the bike park without riding a certain trail cause it was under construction when you were there so you couldn't have ridden it anyway but you're on Pinkbike going on about it anyway, leading you to question why you're here typing this when you could be booking another trip to Whistler...

Why do i feel like this edit is inspired by Mutiny 'Catasauqua'? haha - www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBGoKtTEI7U

Nice made, but i prefer Mutinys

Remember when all that PB can tolerate were no slow-mo videos with death metal or punk sound track? PB sure had mutated in such a quick time.

How did they not think to use Megadeth's Kill the King...! Seemed to fit the the motif super well haha, maybe I'm biased as a huge megadeth fan, but anything better than space noises

I've never ridden D1.
The Pro line designation always scared me off to easier trails like Freight Train and In Deep.
But it looks minty in the vid. Is it truly a pro line? Or is that to scare the weekend warriors away?

wolftwenty1 FL (Sep 28, 2017 at 9:56)

the new line is fucking rowdy IMO and I ride the park everyday.

CaptainBLT (Sep 28, 2017 at 10:16)

You have to be far more precise than other flow trails, with features about the same size as expert flow trails but everything coming at you faster. Drop corner jump corner step down pedal step up - always hit the landing sweet spot, if your speed is off you'll either blow off the trail or come up short. That's what makes it this a pro line IMO, on the expert flow trails you usually have a lot of time to pedal or catch yourself if something goes funky.

WhistlerMountainBikePark (Sep 28, 2017 at 10:30)

It's a Pro Line. For real.

@WhistlerMountainBikePark: Its all about cornering...this trail will demonstrate to you very quickly if you know how to corner or not... jumps are not huge but its very technical.

I was just up there and had no problem with the non pro line trails. Rolled D1 and was humbled.

@colincolin the fall lift pass for 285 Can started 4th Sept, so if you bought it then you'd get 5 weeks of riding.

Not to say it wouldn't be fun. But old D1 was better. Plus video just showed the same parts of the trail over and over. Now the trail looks like A line or all the rest of the jump lines. Wide and smooth.
