Between Storms and Sunbreaks with Brett Tippie

“We chased snow next with sunny spring laps at Mt. Seymour, before it snowed right down to sea level on the North Shore, and a week of nonstop rain forced us higher into fresh powder because it would’ve been unethical to ride the trails in that much mud. Ale, more at home on a bike than skis, did his first powder turns at Cypress and Whistler, even shooting twilight laps above Howe Sound with Niterider headlamps.

“When things dried out, we got back on the bikes. Mt Seymour was still snowy up high and slick everywhere, but the Current handled everything like greasy roots, steep rock rolls, and heavy compressions like it was built for it. Nimble, precise, and totally at home on tight North Shore tech. I couldn’t believe how comfortable this 140mm trail bike was in my backyard!
