WORCA featured with Shaw TV

The final WORCA Twoonie Race of 2011 is now behind us with the passing of the Halloween event. It was another great season for WORCA (Whistler Off-Road Cycling Association) as the association seems to get stronger every year with more members, events, races, instruction and trail work.

On one of the late season Thursday night races, Shaw TV dropped by to do a feature on the Twoonie races. Always a great night of riding and apres with friends and we look forward to the first races in May of 2012.

Check out the video attached from Shaw TV. Keep an eye out for our head mechanic of Arbutus Routes- Luke Garside.

Arbutus Routes Ski Graphic


A new creative project for the winter has brought together the collaboration of Darren Camplin, Skevik Skis and Arbutus Routes. Darren is the creative genius behind the Arbutus design and it currently sits with Skevik skis awaiting production.

Skevik skis is based in Vernon, BC run by the Anderson brothers and focuses on just a few key models and custom topsheets.

We couldn't be happier with the design and can't wait to ski these beauties this winter. A few of the Arbutus Routes staff will be skiing the 185 Anton model with this graphic so keep an eye out for them. The Anton is a perfect powder tool for the snow laden mountains of BC with tapered early rise tip and tail and dimensions of 120-142-122-135-108

Check in with Skevik to order your pair. We'll also have these mounted up on the wall in our Whistler Bike Shop come spring time.

Bring on the snow!
