And we're off! The lifts started spinning under a week ago and we already have the first race of the season under our belts. If you were here for opening weekend, you know that the conditions were nothing short of fantastic. A little bit of rain this week has kept things tacky and the weather god's gifted us some prime conditions for last night. In classic Phat Wednesday style, we kicked the season off with a bomber of a course down B-Line. Lets get into it, shall we?
Downhill mountain bike enthusiasts gearing up for a blistering blast down B-Line. Let's give it up for the staff and volunteers behind this amazing event! Don't forget that they are usually thirsty at the GLC apres... Comin' in hot to the first race of the season! The Karver reaffirmed his namesake last night. Bike Park athlete and beard enthusiast, Tristan Merrick, with his eyes on the prize. Full gas. One of the races where trail bikes are not out of the question...although your hands may beg to differ. But if you're Yoann Barelli, no bike is out of the question. Two thumbs up from the little man. B-Line is fun no matter what ability level you're at. "Ya I spent countless hours over the off-season trying to acquire this plate number." - fictional quote "Oh deer, these riders are f@%king flying!" The Holy Grail: Garibaldi Lift Co. Apres. The fastest ladies down the mountain last night. Very very very fast dudes. RESULTS MALE GROM (13 and under)
