Good day Everyone,
We hope you are enjoying all that summer has to offer in the Whistler Valley. Bike Park trails are still riding nicely, but trail degradation is real and happening, so ride accordingly.
We are consistently hearing great feedback about what you are all doing out there, from Club to DFX Dailies to Custom Clinics, Intro 2 Park and Evening Programs!
Our goal is to work towards being an amazing team- this means we look out for each other, we keep each other safe and we support each other. As they say: “it takes a community” – our community is key. I am very proud and honored to be part of this kick ass community of awesome bike coaches and leaders.
Remember, every day you are out there teaching and spreading your passion of riding bikes, is another opportunity to create life long riders. This is how we grow our industry. Be very proud of what you do. And so far, you all are doing an amazing job creating the next Robin Goomes and Jackson Goldstones.
Thanks to everyone who attended the Safety Reset and BBQ last night!
Love you all,
Nadio and Sarah.
Reminder: Please remember to fill out your Glint survey and let us know what you're loving and what you need for us to keep building as a Bike School! |

Please take the time to fill out the glint survey. It has been a huge part of helping us push for improvements over the years, from free lunches to uniform upgrades it really helps us lobby for change and address things that YOU want.
Please use the space provided to provide constructive feedback on anything you think we can improve on, from Bike School specific all the way to WB and Vail resorts as a whole.

Some more sessions are being added for July so keeping checking the training calendar.
We're trying to get a Level 4 Prep session organized, just waiting for trainer availability, so stay tuned. For those taking the Level 2, there is a Level 2 Prep on Friday July 25.
August dates will be up shortly with a training pause during Crankworx. Remember A&D and Strength & Conditioning sessions are still on the calendar so sign up for some off bike training!
Look forward to seeing you out on training sessions soon.

Updates from the Mechanic Shop
|
Good news from the shop: we’re introducing an Emergency Time Slot for same-day, on-the-spot repairs. It will just take a week to bleed out the appointments I've already committed to but this way we can carve out dedicated time to get you rolling again ASAP.
And that’s not all—we’ve added a professional truing stand to our toolkit! Whether it’s loose spokes or a bent rim, we can now dial in your wheel for the smoothest ride possible.
We've also introduced a feedback form, please use the QR code on the wall and door in G1 for any feedback, recognition or requests so that we can provide exactly what you need!
See you in the shop, and happy riding!
Joel
P.S. Please remember to give your bike a wash before you bring it in.
