Keystone Downhill

Crinkle took Z and I out to Keystone to show us around. They really have a great set up. Lots of bridges built into different trails.

It was new stuff to Z, but he loved it. Crinkle is the MAN. He would hit any drop or rock garden with very little or no concern. If he was on a DH bike, he would be deadly for sure.:D

Here are some pics showing some of the features. Z's in the white shirt, Crinkle is the other guy.

just a common berm, but fun for this newby.

A very fun day. My right hand is still swollen from an endo I took on to some rocks. But I look forward to hitting it again next year.:cool:

Nice pics, GT. Looks like fun.
Hope the hand is healing up.
Good to see you again.

It's the bike not the rider... er, rider not the bike. I think a DH bike should be in everyones future.

Stuff looks like a lot of fun. Where on the mountain is it?

all over the place. the stunt park is at the bottom by the gondy. the skinny bridge was on "paid in full" a new trail, the others were on parts of the "expert" trails.

GT thanks for taking and posting the pics. Heal up soon.

Big props to Z for being a new rider and trying just about everything he came across. I do wish that vid came out of you doing that endo into the tree.

Funny, I though ditching everyone and skiing down to the bottom of the hill we'd never been on before, leaving everyone else standing on the hill, shouting and thinking you were lost or stuck in a tree somewhere in the fog was your specialty :p

Nice pics GT. Looks like some fun riding. Jealous that we have nothing remotely close to it around here.

Crinkle, get a big bike. Buy first, answer to your wife later. ;)

It'll be tough to answer to her, when sleeping in the garage. Ski season is here, she knows BC gear is on the agenda, if for some reason that slips her mind by spring, maybe I'll try and pinch a bigger bike by her.......who am I kidding?

This will be the biggest one yet. We will have free food and beer from Tommy Knocker. There will be two DJ spinning in the parking lot all day for your listening pleasure, hundreds of people haucking gear to each other, tons of deals to be had, vendors showing off all the new gear, giveaways all day including free skis and bindings, lots of shwag, and more. This is not to be missed. If you are interested in selling gear, it is free but we ask that you sign up ahead of time so we know how many tables to get. Click the link above to sign up or get more info.

Did he actually do that more than once??? That was a sick day at Smuggs. I was just giving the mild one more shit about skipping out on that one.

hah!! I'd forgot he did that at Smuggs too... He, mildbill, basom, some of basom's friends and I skied big Jay last February on one foggy, windy day. About half way down, Bill asks me if I saw where Z went, I thought he went with basom who was about 30 yards to the left of us. A couple minutes later, we met up with basom, no Z with him. So we start looking, shouting, traversing through the trees as best we could. Well, we never saw any tracks all the way down and never find him. Once down, we decide to leave basoms friends and jet back to the car to go back up and attempt to do some sort of sweep. Get down to the bottom and see Z sitting in a snowbank, followed by "what took you guys so long..."

Saturday. No idea what to expect there, though.

oh yeah, and keystone's trails are probably destroyed after all the rain and snow last weekend, then they had the MSC finals XC, DH, blah blah blah. It was a mess.

Well, fuck me I'll be there one or two of those days!
