I don't plan on doing jumps, and wheels will likely stay on the ground more often than in the air. Most, if not all of my rides will be on green and blue trails. I foresee rolling over drops as oppose to dropping over them.
If I do ride the Whistler bike park, I won't be hitting up any of the black runs or taking the jumps.
I know many of the bikes I see on the trails and in the area are in the 140mm - 160mm range. But I am hopeful the 120mm of travel will work for me.
If you ever need more travel, you can likely hire at Whistler.
