					<description><![CDATA[I remember the moment when I told myself downhill mountain biking was not for me. I was standing in the base of Whistler Village many summers ago as I watched the mountain bikers walking by with monstrous expensive bikes, full face helmets and padding covered in dirt. I could see the features, the drops and the berms from the base that they were riding. I was floored. I realized that that downhill mountain biking was gnarly and I could never be that gnarly. Despite living in towns that had lift accessed mountain biking, I never got into it. I always had the opportunity to ride snow in the summer and didn&#8217;t want to give that up. But it wasn&#8217;t until last summer at Mammoth that I realized there was no way I could snowboard that summer so I needed to give mountain biking a chance. I started on the easiest green trail (seriously, families could pass by me) where I started to get comfortable on the $600 used full-suspension Giant Reign I bought. I eventually stepped it up to the easy blues and harder blues. I went from sitting on the seat to learning to ride downhill properly, standing with [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After spending the last couple weeks in California, it was good to come back home to the sunny northwest and hit the trails at Stevens Pass Bike Park. A lot has changed since I was up in July, both trails are now fully top to bottom with tons of features jam packed into them. I met up with Dennis to spend the early afternoon lapping the bike park. It was good to have a riding buddy at Stevens since I had only been riding alone this summer. Now that the trails are noticeably longer, it&#8217;s definitely full runs of fun. I found that the Rock Crusher lower section is full of berms and table tops plus a couple new bridges along the way. The conditions are a lot drier, looser dirt than the last time. Even with the warm temps on the mountain, it wasn&#8217;t too hot while riding  but I made sure to leave a water bottle at the bottom for each lap. The downside of the day was getting the flat tire on the last run. I noticed the flat right after the first couple turns at the top of the chair so I hiked the bike up [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When the Stevens Pass Bike Park opened late last summer, I was living out of state but still stoked to hear my home mountain opened lift accessed downhill trails. Since moving back to Washington earlier this winter, I&#8217;ve been anxiously awaiting for the snow to melt since Stevens closed for winter operations and today was finally the day for the Bike Park to open! Props to the hardworking Stevens team and crew to get it up and running despite the abundance of snow this season. It was an easy drive up Hwy 2 to get in some lift accessed riding this morning. Once I hit the unloaded my bike and got my ticket, I followed the clearly marked signs to get to the lift. Riding a new Bike Park is a good thing, it definitely pushes your riding to ride different dirt, trails and timing. I knew there were two trails open so I figured I would stick to the blue Rock Crusher (more difficult) trail for the day to get used to the design of the Bike Park here. I usually never push my luck on the first day of wherever I&#8217;m riding because I&#8217;d rather have my first [&#8230;]]]></description>
