Down Hill Laps

[lilduke]

We do this all the time in Creston. Biggest thing is knowing where you are going. Compass has been off a few times and ended up in some pretty sketchy spots. No feeling like dropping down something you can't come back up and coming to a cliff

yes knowing the route is very important. and first run on a new line can be sketchy for sure.

Above the cabin drops when your riding loose
You know its going to be good when your following snowboard tracks

here's another question for today I'll keep it in this thread.


if all you do is ride to the blue lake cabin and drink beer and hit that Lil hill out front are you really a mountain rider?

Ah yes, we called it low marking. Far more interesting than high marking, but it had to be done at night.

When doing you downhill laps you want to practise your figure 8's.

I’ve never ridden Revy but maybe one day who knows.

Why ride Revy when you have the best of the Kootenays at your back door and you are the only group on the mountain!



I like my DH’s, I don’t set out to ride one line all day, it’s more about getting up to the base of a drainage or creek that you know hasn’t been touched all winter and work your way up it and then down the next one and continue that until you can’t go anywhere.

you aren't going to beable to do that right after a big revy dump though.

that's when people do it typically. when it's too deep to climb


ps there is lots of mountains around revy where you won't see anyone. if you haven't tried revy, should be on ur bucket list..... get here before they close it down....

 

[lilduke]

just to be clear I like going up thing's too lol


this isn't every day, but they are fun days though.

Rode the downhill single track outta sale once.

Beats the whoops.

How about the classic let’s point it straight downhill gps shows a “logging road”. GPS doesn’t show road is decommissioned and you have to dig 3 snow bridges across the 10foot trenches.

I’ll do downhill runs through the trees after riding an area in the Kakwa. Single track in then trees on the way out!

Yes I know many areas around Revy and have been the only group on the entire mountain, sometimes for weeks at a time.

And I know big Revy dumps.

I was more talking to skid. I know you like revy, but you seem to like to dis it too sometimes even though it's the best riding in the world.... imo

Not alot of this for me, Our terrain out this way is a bit different and usually leads to Certain death or Spending the night LOL. But i have a few lines i like to do from the front to backs of zones that i can do untouched.

Or just follow the creek bed lol

I have been told that makes people nervous. Lol
