Nice shots Err! What did you think of Brian Head? I almost went there this summer but wasn't able to pull it off. Seems like it would be a fun place to ride....

Brian Head is always a great time. We usually try to make it down at least once a season. Dark Hollow, Bunker Creek, and Blow Hard are some great trails. Brian Head is close enough to Thunder Mountain and the Virgin/Springdale area trails to hit those in the same trip.
Lookin' good Large Format! We did a huge ride just over a week ago but we're getting down to just a few lower trails now with this big storm rolling in. I'm sure there will be a Moab or Virgin trip before winter really sets in.

Err my meat hucking nut sack is no where near as large as yours, but even so I didn't get in a single lift day in this year(I heart silver star), unless you count the de Havilland
the snow line was keeping us yo yoing the low hanging fruit till last week when the southerly flow re opened a couple of the local point to points. though it looks like were back to valley bottom stuff.
Way to keep the thread alive guys, nice pics! Where is Silver Star? I think a visit is in order...
Silver Star is in Vernon, BC. We hit Nelson on the same trip. There's good riding all over the place up there. I'd say that Silver Star is second only to Whistler in resort riding. Lots of flow, jump lines, wood structures, good fun. Much, much smaller than Whistler and a minimal village though.
Couple more pics from Silver Star, those guys are all over the wall rides...

Holy sh1t!
Looks like I need to plan a trip to Silver Star. That place looks awesome. From those pics it looks even more fun than Whistler to me (but maybe I'm just biased because I broke my collarbone last time I was at Whistler ).
Looks like we're into similar terrain; look me up if you're ever in norcal.

In the random freeride stoke department, here's a vid I ran across recently. From norcal somewhere, but it's gone now. Pretty awesome building/riding. Would have been cool to see in person.

I was looking for some silver star pics, but nada. that step up is cherry. rattles my brain all the way into it and hurts to land the HT, but cherry none the less.

Silver Star is definitely not to be missed. While you're up there, the city of Rossland has a paid staff of trail builders now, apparently the place is buff and packed full of sweet freeride trails now.
I'll give ya a shout if I'm ever in norcal, do the same if you roll through UT.
