Did I misspell his name? I do that sometimes when I'm tired or in a rush. Apologies to Evan and the entire Schwartz clan.

one of the best web edits I've seen in awhile... the cinematography was outstanding.

Great edit and an even better scrub. Haven't had the fortune to ride Kelowna when it's that tacky. Looked like some incredible conditions.

It did snow recently, just a dusting but that may have melted off, depending on how high up the trails in question are. I would imagine things are still looking pretty good until the first real snow hits, I'm sure Andrew would know better than anyone, he's always working on the trails up on Gillard and elsewhere.

Right now gillard/powers are good to go, they are calling for 12 and sun today, rain tomorrow, then cloudy most of the weekend. If the rain tomorrow brings snow, then gillard/powers are probably a no go if not give'r. Most of the xc and lower dh stuff like postil/knox should be good regardless.

The Macattack !
He's been posting up for years on the local bike forum. His riding/building continues to humble most of us.
