					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s amazing to stand on the top of a trail, know your line and just go for it. Snowboarding or mountain biking &#8211; those moments you remember! My last visit to Whistler was for one trail, to conquer the Top of the World. I knew that I wanted to ride the trail when it opened a couple years ago. Not only is it a black trail but the amount of vertical makes for one sick day of riding. I loaded up the bike and headed to Whistler with my mom along for the adventure. She doesn&#8217;t mountain bike but there&#8217;s enough in the town of Whistler to keep her occupied while I rode the trails. Once in Whistler, it was time to make plans for the bike park the next day. Stephanie, Joe, Janet and friends all came out to rally the park. We took warmup laps, getting back on the trails and making sure we were dialed before heading up to Top of the World. Eventually it was time to hit the gondola line and head to the top. Dropping into Top of the World was certainly memorable because it was the &#8220;this is it&#8221; moment and just knowing [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[All I wanted for my 30th birthday was laps in the Whistler bike park, good friends, a visit to the spa and sushi dinner. Whatever else was just a bonus to a fun day! The best part &#8211; I got everything I wanted for my birthday. We started the morning with a ride up Whistler Mountain so we could check out the Peak to Peak gondola. I had ridden it many times in the winter but it was fun to check it out in the summer. The weather cleared up top for us despite some rainfall on the ride over. For the afternoon, Carrie and I headed back to Whistler Bike Park to get in our laps. Her goal for me was to start my 30s stepping up my bike game and it worked! We did funshine rolly drops, smoke and mirrors, blueseum. I finally did the scary rock section of the samurai pizza cat. Last summer I started drops, I went from the tiniest drop in Wednesday night delight to the fourth jump by the end of the summer. To kick off 30, I went to the fifth jump (second biggest) and landed twice! It was good fun. Ever [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When it came time to figure out where I wanted to spend my 30th birthday, it was an easy decision. I opted for a dirty thirty celebration in the actual dirt at Whistler Bike Park for a couple days to ring in the big day. It offered a chance to ride terrain I had accomplished previously and master new terrain when I reached the ripe age of 30. We arrived into Whistler on Monday June 10, ready to start the celebration at our condo. Since it was the big 30, I wanted something close to the lifts/bars and a spot where everyone had a bed. Our condo in the Carleton Lodge was sweet and I could check out the progress on the Bike Park Crankworx features from the balcony. Last year I had bought my first legit downhill bike, the Norco Aurum but unfortunately I didn&#8217;t want to deal with bringing it on the plane so thank to Whistler Mountain I was able to demo the Giant Glory bikes during my stay. Reunited with my Whistler Bike Park buddy Carrie for laps in the afternoon. She talked me into doing the GLC roll where i hit butt to tire and [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I might have missed Crankworx but I didn&#8217;t wanna miss out on getting more laps in the Whistler Bike Park and experiencing one more women&#8217;s clinic night. Since I had been traveling through Vancouver so many times this summer, it was the perfect opportunity to come ride Bike Park and do a Vancouver twitter scavenger hunt on Wednesday. Since today would be a full evening of bike park with the women&#8217;s clinic, Carrie and I had a late start to the day. By the time we arrived, the lines were reasonable and we quickly made our way up the mountain. Since Carrie was coming back to her bike from an injury, today was a confidence boosting kind of day. At 5:30pm it was time to meet up for the women&#8217;s bike clinic. This was my second time taking advantage of the $20 clinic. I liked being able to try trails and work on skills with other women. Today we wanted to head up to Garbanzo to ride the intermediate blue trail Blue Velvet for the clinic. A couple girls had already ridden it but a couple of us hasn&#8217;t or hadn&#8217;t in a while. Tim was the coach for our [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The last day of my Whistler trip finally arrived. Cue the sad sappy music. On a good note, the sun was shining, the lines were short and the trails offered up a more loose ride for the day. Today was a day to ride by myself, fast lap with the singles line and work on what I learned from the women&#8217;s bike clinic last night. There is a photo of me riding through Heart of Darkness when I took the first jump (it was my air of the day but I got air), click here to see it with a lot of watermarking covering it. I went back to lower Duffman trail to redeem myself on the sketchy rock part that I crashed on two days ago. Redemption was won. The best part about today was trying out the Norco Aurum from Fanatik Co in town. They mentioned taking out the demo bike yesterday at the shop so today was the day. I had tried a couple bikes this summer but hadn&#8217;t found one that completely won me over. The best part is they sell their demo bikes with brand new parts at the end of the season so you [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For the past month, I&#8217;ve been progressing in the Bike Park. Sometimes it&#8217;s been baby steps, sometimes huge leaps. I&#8217;m still moving forward, gaining confidence (and losing it on some days) but I&#8217;m always having fun. This trip to Whistler was based around coming up just in time to experience the Whistler women&#8217;s night clinics to help my progression along with coaching. A little coaching can go a long way and it seemed like it was time to work on specific skills in the right environment. Today started in the local bike shop, Fanatik Co., to purchase new grips and a handlebar. It was cheaper than a new bike and should be a short-term fix for one of the issues I&#8217;ve been having on my current setup. [singlepic id=14213 w=500 h=375 float=] After getting set up, I got in a couple laps to get used to the wider handlebar. It was a less progressive day than yesterday, I enjoyed the runs without feeling like I needed to prove myself or get wrecked. I had heard so many good things about Whistler creating a clinic that helped women take their skills to the next level. For less than $20 with your [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It felt really good to return to the promised land of bikes and boards aka Whistler to be able to work on my Bike Park progression. I&#8217;ve been missing the carefree environment, friendly atmosphere and all-around fun that goes on in resort towns so it&#8217;s been my main mission to return as much as possible. I scheduled this trip around the Monday night ladies night so I could partake in it with three days of downhill time in the Bike Park. Sunday was my only day to ride with my friend Carrie so we hit up the mountain, warmed up on the trails we knew and then immediately she pushed me to try the GLC ramp. Because anytime you hit a new feature, thinking about it all day is going to be a mental mindfuck. We ended up doing it twice, I had one stall coming up to it the second time but still managed to do it. With more terrain open, we ended up trying new trails on the mountain. It was my first time to check out a couple trails that I wanna work my way up to (same with Carrie). One of them has the first feature [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It was a relief to see the sunshine come out after yesterday&#8217;s wet and muddy riding day. It meant the trails would be a bit drier, easier to grip and just as much fun. I headed back to the Whistler Bike Park to get in my laps and work on technique. Since I learned to mountain bike last summer, I didn&#8217;t ride with more experienced people till this summer so now I&#8217;m starting to get the tips and techniques coming my way. It&#8217;s much needed to be able to fine tune my riding as I&#8217;m progressing. My coach/riding buddy for most of today was Dan. As much as I love riding with the girls, sometimes you gotta have a boy riding behind you yelling at you to fix this and fix that so you actually do it. It was good to have Dan helping me work on riding berms and jumps. While I was working on technique most of the day, other riders were preparing for the Wednesday night downhill race that was going to take place on B-Line to Heart of Darkness. Dan was riding the trails with me so he&#8217;d be ready for the race as well. I [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When it comes to Birthdays, I&#8217;ve found that doing something that makes me happy is the best way to spend them. In the past I&#8217;ve gone snowboarding for birthdays so this year I decided to go mountain biking and spend a couple days in Whistler. It was exactly where I wanted to spend my birthday, having fun in the Bike Park and having a low-key day. I made my way to the base of the lifts after 10am when they opened, loaded my bike and got on the lift. On the way up, it was cool to see the Crankworx course really coming together. The course is insane. It was my first time coming up to Whistler Bike Park during the midweek which is noticeably a lot more quiet and easy flowing on the trails. I spent the morning lapping the trails I knew and getting used to the conditions again. It was raining so a lot more slick, wet riding on the trails. On my first ride down, I ended up riding 10 feet away from a deer hanging out in an open part of the trail. It caught me by surprise but didn&#8217;t startle the deer at all.

					<description><![CDATA[Spending a weekend in Whistler is exactly the right amount of fun regardless if it&#8217;s winter or summer. Last night we met up with a crew in Squamish for dinner before watching the Whistler vs Squamish roller derby match. Despite sore muscles from riding hard on Saturday, we headed back to the mountain to get in our laps. It was our girls crew of Carrie, Janet and myself for the day. The day started warmer than expected with some sunshine but eventually turned to overcast rain throughout the day. Most of upper mountain was socked into the clouds but lower mountain with the open trails was in good condition. The trails were drier than yesterday with some muddy spots. We mostly stuck to B-Line, Ho Chi Minh, Heart of Darkness, Hornet, Ninja Cougar&#8230;trying to think of the rest. So many of the trails interweave so you end up riding a bunch of them on one run. The pic below is right before I followed Janet to make laps on Heart of Darkness. Even though it gets super rutted, it&#8217;s probably my favorite run because of the berms, jumps and flow. It&#8217;s funny to hear the occasional sound of the zipliners [&#8230;]]]></description>
