Video: Henry Quinney & Christina Chappetta Share Their Favorite Warm-Up Lap at Whistler Bike Park

 Also dirt merchant and that's pretty much it.

 I thought A-line was the only trail for Henry at Whistler?

 Crank it up is such a fun trail. Flow for days.

 Crank it Up for a warm up every time.

 You should make it back and incorporate the (relatively) new C-More. The jumps are just a little bigger and better than crank it up

 ohh other great option! It's just like a tad further than B Line so my laziness kicks in

 @peterman1234: love it

 @peterman1234: there's no c-more this year

 @burnerAccount: c-less

 @peterman1234: Sadly shut this year for fitz renos.

 @slowerthanmydentist: They might get the mess under the chair cleaned up so they can open it. Lower Canadian Open needs to be renamed Lower Canadian Closed, that trail is gone.

 I've got to be feeling good for Angry, it keeps me a little too honest.

 Keeeen to visit Highland some day! Gotta stop saying that and actually do it.

 @christinachappetta: It is America's bike park!

 @Offrhodes: How about Killington?
Less of a mtb vibe and more rich ski resort I guess.

 @Roost66: Killington is awesome. Amazing jump trails. Plenty of gnarly tech, and usually zero lines.

Also, the most vert on the east coast by a fair margin.

 @ridedigrepeat: Im seriously considering highland or killington trip next year. Or snowshoe for a tech overdose. Had time on all three? Any suggestions?

 @cougar797: If you're coming from out west I'd aim for August or September for the best chance of dry conditions and the most trails open. If you want to just ride bike parks, I'd do Highland, Thunder, and Killington. I've never been to Snowshoe but I've heard its very old school (and there are better parks in North Carolina if you want to go there).

Highland: Go on a weekday. The lift is slow and the lines are long on the weekends! There is super gnarly tech and some really fun jumps here! Plus tons of massive features that will scare you. Look before you leap because the trails are usually not intuitive... and if you launch blindly you could end up in jagged rocks or in the woods. Must rides are: Cats Paw (blue jumps), Helion (black jumps), Eastern Hemlock (old school new england steep tech), (but you can probably ride it all in a day).

Thunder: Lots of old school tech, a few fun jumps, and some insanely massive jumps. Very fun park and good for an enduro bike (go find the enduro trails!)

Killington: Super fast tech & flow! Amazing jump lines (jump start and step it up are actually my favorite jump trails, but Blue and Black magic are fun). Make sure to catch the Gondola and find Cable Trail (best trail on the hill, even though it is short), then over to Yo Vinny for some nasty old-school tech. Also make sure to ride Krusty (super fast blue/black tech that has incredible berms). A great lap is to start on Blue Magic, then go to Krusty, then end on Goat Skull (the DH race course). We call it the Blue Krusty Goat.

I'd save Killington for the weekend, because it spreads folks out really well with the 3 lifts and it also will destroy your hands.

If you need more park than that, go up to Bolton Valley for some really unique tech riding. Must-dos are Double Down & Hydra. Then go climb up to Wilderness Peak to ride one of the steepest trails in the east: Outslaw.

If you need even more park, go to Burke, and get a shuttle pass to the top! Ride Upper Jay Bar and DH Trail (now Rude Awakening) for some incredible tech that drops you back into the park.

Pro tip: Get a Vermont Mountain Bike Association (VMBA) membership and you get a free ticket to Killington, and Bolton, and a BOGO for Burke.

 @ridedigrepeat: Well thanks bud!

 That's my usual third lap haha after the proper warm up then A Line. Del Boca is just so fun!

 @christinachappetta: ha! give it a shot as a warm up...just casual style...those middle Easy D turns are so good.

 I mean, as far as the top tube goes yes

 Love this! It's like Disneyland for bike riders. I need to get back over to the village for A Line laps

 Oh yeaaah. Maybe not quite my warmup lap but def my mid day multi lap fav. Met ya at creek side with the wife after your marathon weeks at Whis. Glad you had an awesome time here!

 Yep starting to feel like desert conditions more and more every summer.

 Thankfully Junuary has returned and it's been mint the last week or so.

 As the trees get taller, they drink more water and it gets dustier. So if you want more moisture in your trail , try cutting down some trees. Don’t though

 No, its a weather event….20 years living here and ive seen this several times…

 @neroleeloo: been here for 17 years and it gets hotter and dryer year after year. No idea how you havent noticed.

 @ybsurf:

 Mid June was dry and dusty in Creekside, then it started raining and it hasn't been drying out.

 Whose fault is it? Guess! No, you don't see?

 @danstonQ: not mine that's for sure, but if I pay more taxes it will all be OK??

 No: it's climate change that "thanks" you.

 @danstonQ: I believe what I see with my own lying eyes, not what some Scandinavian doom goblin rants at me,
How dare you....

 @dotman: Scandinavian Doom Goblin plays Friday night at the Mabuhay Gardens, all ages show. Doors 8pm, band at 10pm.
