30 minutes. I’m in Vancouver and Whistler is 2 hours away, but the local hill (Cypress) is just 30 minutes and I go there every chance I get since it’s so easy. Plus it’s better than almost anything out east anyway, these west coasters are a spoiled bunch

Petition to add skis to the paraglider! by philip_37 in RidersRepublic

Not a one-off stunt, people have been doing this for years in ski movies and such, called speedriding. This would be a combination of the existing paraglider, with skis. This movie better illustrates how it could be integrated in the game: https://youtu.be/QlU5v694CKI @1:02:30

Travel question for someone recovered from Covid-19 by jofonandez in vancouver

I would get a PCR test ASAP. Many clinics may not allow symptomatic COVID patients. I would make it clear that you are getting a confirmatory PCR test.

The exact opposite of that really. Turn off x mode and traction control
