That's how heaven is imagined. Simply beautiful.

 The full screen photo's just work so well too

 Its this x1000. Its a large province and has a lot to offer. Pinkbike, this is the best article I have ever seen on here. I loved the panning images and how they were full screen width. Well done.

 Yes Revelstoke is amazing. I wish they would give credit to the trails ridden though.

The Cabin is on the Keystone Standard Basin trail...which is an out n back in alpine terrain. roughly 2-3 hours depending on your fitness level. Spending the night at the cabin would be fun but not necessary to do the ride.

Maybe a few other shots from the Frisby ridge and Martha Creek trails too.

A great trip report on the Kootenay range can also be found here:

 Canada needs to stop rubbing it in our faces. That goes for you too Wayne Parsons. I'll say it again though, I'm going to make a pilgrimage up that way next summer. I am just kidding when I say stop the in face rubbing action. Don't stop, I'm so close I can taste it. I'm sorry and not sorry about how that sounded.

 This site has trails with photos and videos of 1000s of trails in BC www.trailforks.com/region/british-columbia
I hate you BC

 outsmith, no worries. When there is snow on the ground and I can't ride, I dream about being in the south western US. You've got some gems down there too.

 can't decide if vanderham's office views are better than hunter's office views

 Very smart to get out of Whistler during Crankworx... absolute gongshow.

 @outsmith - I see you're in Spokane. From your way you could work Rossland - New Denver - Revelstoke. Then cross over the Divide and work Golden - Invermere- Fernie and then back.

Since Spokane is a medium - sized airport many other US visitors could also do the same thing. There's lots of resources about Revelstoke area riding on Pinkbike also - do a search and they'll pop up.

 Thanks leelau, it looks like you have my itinerary all planned out for me. When would be a good time for such a trip? July? Would I be able to do any kind of camping at these locations?
Wayne I think snow blows, Unless your are into that kind of thing. I don't like being cold but I love the mountains. I need to get over it and take up some kind of winter sport, like curling!

And can anyone tell me how to do that @ thing when responding to someone? Pretty please?

 @outsmith all I did was type in @ and the PB javascript autofilled in your name (probably pulled from the thread). Works on desktop but not mobile. July can be still snowy in the alpine. Matt and Andrew likely didn't do variations which put you into the deep alpine from this ride. These variations are hike-a-bike to Keystone Peak or mixed hike a bike and ride along Standard Ridge both of which put you into views of the heart of the Selkirk Range. So it's best to check snow levels to ensure you can avoid snow cover.

The horseflies can be bad if you do it in August. This trip looks late enough in the year that this was avoided. Personally I like the trip in mid September. If you google you can see TR's written by myself on other websites for people who will ride with or car-drop you out and back variations in New Denver also. For Revy contact www.wanderingwheels.ca - it will cut your farting around with car drops time substantially. Here I'll throw in another @WanderingWheels

 @whatyousaid thanks for the links and info! definitely added to the bucket list

 @outsmith and @leelau the flies were non existent this year in late August on Frisbee Ridge. And if you're coming this way I would suggest also trying out some of the bike parks on the way if you have time or want to. Some good riding to be had.

 @leelau BAM! Now I can do that troll thing people are always talking about! Thanks for the knowledge.

 Yeah I totally forgot to mention that @Frederick3. Silver Star for example isn't far. You can actually get to that pretty quickly by taking the super cool Fauquier ferry (free over to Vernon). It's got some pretty nice trails around the Vernon area and a really nice looking alpine trail with view potential - consistent with the alpine riding flavour if that's what you want.

Kicking Horse is more DH Oriented but I haven't ridden there so someone else will have to speak to that. Same with Fernie - no personal experience with their park

 Surely someone is cashing in on multi day guided MTB tours in BC, include food, a MTB instructor, a guarantee of an amazing trip and a cold beer at the end of day 1 and i think you'd be pretty busy during the summer. Only problem is you can only ride these trails a few months a year i guess. If anyone is doing this, i have my MTB quals, cert IV in Outdoor Rec and WFA. I want to work with you!

 You bet there is. Johnny Smoke (MTB legend) running Bush Pilot Biking Tours out of the okanagen. I've heard nothing but amazing stories. I'd love to take one sometime.

 @hoolydooly That's my job and it's the best job in the world!

 Wanderingwheels you're a turd, and my hero. I'm too poor to hire you though, I'm afraid.

 Do you do any 3+ day epic trips? or is it just 1 and two day adventures that you offer?

 @hoolydooly Next summer we will be offering a range of all inclusive bike trips from 3-10 days in length. Ride hard, stay at our lodge, eat great food, and repeat everyday! Most trips will be for strong all-mountain/enduro type riders, one for purely XC, one for DH, and one will be for novice to intermediate riders and will have instructional segments along with lots of sweet rides and an alpine ride! All trips are guaranteed Epic! Have a look at this little teaser slideshow I put together for our trips: www.pinkbike.com/video/389731 All of the info will be up on our website soon. I am also hoping to create a front page blog for Pinkbike in the coming weeks. Cheers.

 Canada also has one of the worst Environmental Protection Plans out of any Country in the developed world. Savour it while you can...

 @WanderingWheels that looks amazing, maybe not next year...but 2016...would love to ride some trails with you guys!

 I can't say a styrofoam cup would be at the top of my list, but that's just me...

 This looks awesome and I'd love to plan a trip like this but assuming the water and shelter are already covered, how do you get a sleeping bag, food, jacket and whatever else would be needed (TP, fire, utensils?) into a bag on your back with all of the other stuff? I think the answer is helicopters.

 I carry a lightweight sleeping bag and a gore-tex bivvy. it's normally freezing but I can get everything into my 20L evoc pack. it's taken me ages to get rid of the stuff that you don't really need!

 @JenMcp and @bvd453 - see answers downthread. Also see the recent article posted about biking the entire Continental Trail on PB about even more aggressive ways to bike-pack. No need for a helicopter

 He meant: "The density of PODs on this one just blew out my computer." Adding a comma where you did makes it completely nonsensical. Also you could do with some speech marks and a colon to make your point more clearly.

 yeah my bad...still, a lot of stunnig pictures

 THIS AINT NO SPELLING BEE! THESE PICS'N'VIDS ARE SICK COMMA FULL STOP

 Thateffectwiththetoyota.mindblowing

 He's also a stand-up kind of guy who not only rides phenomenally well, but is a great rep for the companies who sponsor him. I'm not particularly motivated to purchase said products, but if the sponsorships keep him riding and filming, then I'll continue to eat up dakine of specialized pictures and film in which he's featured. Of course I'd trek to the edge of the clif to watch Shandro ride too... Another fine human being who can ride the tires off a bike regardless of the size of the wheels.

 Giggdy.

 You beat me to it. I was sort of amused at the beginning of the video when it appeared they were so fatigued of the Whistler crowds and routine that they needed to "get out of town" as though Whistler were downtown Detroit. I guess routine is routine. Great video and amazing photos.

 Why wait till summer? I'm gunna have to go twice!

 apparently the skiing is OK too..

 That is actually funny.

 Why is that?

 Because if I had to shell out the money for a carbon frame, I wouldn't risk any damage to the downtube that might come from hanging it over a tailgate.

 How do you know that's not a tube being stuck in there to repair a torn sidewall, or otherwise unfixable tire trouble?! And I'm all the people involved in this trip know what's up with tires. sheesh.

 The tube in the photo has what sure looks like drying rubber cement on it which implies a thorn or snake-type puncture to a tube. Maybe this is a thorn to a tube after a torn side wall. Could be.
