Hmmm...I used to commute in Ontario and then moved out west a few years ago. In Whistler you either Ski or snowboard in the winter and golf or mtb in the summer. Since I 'thought' I had mtbiked before I picked one up and went to it. I was quickly schooled on trails considered basic out here and fell in love with how technical and physically difficult mountain biking was.
I still don't like the price
