Spring Arrival
Spring is well and truly on its way!
While Whistler has been hit with just shy of 3 meters of snow during March, Squamish is rideable for the most part on the lower elevation trails and we're getting out and about making the most of the superb trails on our doorstep!
It's a refreshing break to escape the Winter hustle and bustle up in Whistler and get back to some kind of normality in Squamish!
Recently, a nice suprise was waiting on the door step when I got home from a muddy spring ride.
Always one to tear straight into christmas boxes, I had to hold off and share the excitement
All was not as it seemed though......

Bike Check - JT Huck
2011 Guide Bike Check - JT Huck
Jamie has been with us for a while now and always impresses us with his relaxed flow on a bike.
JT has also been out and about filming and shooting with various photographers over the last couple of seasons. Most notably slotting into the FastFokus - Be Careful webisode and shooting with Jordan Manley for BBB's recent MBUK articles.
Jamie's super smooth on a bike, but ride hard and rides a lot!
In 2011 JT logged 68 days and 328 individual scans on the Whistler bike park alone this year. Based on actual location scans thats a whopping 113,569m (113km) or 383,971ft (73miles) of elevation he's ridden down.
This does not include unscanned rides up Garbo, shuttle days in Squamish or North Van, or even his trip to Europe for the worlds OR even the current season of riding over in New Zealand
In 2010, it was a huge 87 Days and 507 scans on his previous Voltage FR!
To put that into perspective, solely on the bike park, he's effectively taken that bike well up into space and ridden back down again.
Did he break anything descending over 100km of bike park trails? Not a single thing!
