Even the journey to Whistler can be an exciting thing- once you've pasted immigration and you've finished sweating it's down to getting your ass all the way to Whistler on the Whistler Express. Except our driver insisted on taking two breaks en route- even though it was only a 2.5 hr drive. What a nobber.

Anyhow, I'm here, the weather is amazing and the place is relatively empty - unlike the manic scenario there is when Crankworx rolls in to town. The lift queues are really small and it's easy to get plenty of runs in - although my poxy wrist is giving me hassles so I'm munching on Ibuprofen like it's chewing tabaco.

The Slopestyle course looks amazing this year - way better than previous years and it's got plenty of options. Also the new four-cross track kicks ass, and the Dual slalom track is mega tight. Trail condition is good - although ultra dusty. I never thought I'd say it, but some rain would be good!

Anyhow, I'm pretty busy on the Norco presentation at the moment - I'll post a news story on the new bikes first thing in the morning - which will be tomorrow night for you guys.

Ta ta for now - I'll report back soon....
