Arguably the Mecca of mountain biking; Whistler is a place that should be near the top of every riders bucket list. Located in British Columbia on the West Coast of Canada, over 250km of lift accessed trails offer something for every rider.

Home to Crankworx festival and the 2010 Winter Olympics, Whistler is overrun by mountain bikers from all corners of the world every summer. They can be found riding inside and outside of the park, chilling by the lake, or in one of the many bars and restaurants in Whistler Village.
Will you be making the pilgrimage this year when the park opens on May 17th? Let us know in the comments👇

Great overview of Whistler guys... 2 more options -- you didn't mention the trails on the other side of the valley, and you drove past a ton of great riding around Squamish on your way to Whistler. Keep on driving, leave the Squamish trails to the locals. Even though it's expensive, it's one of a handful of 4 seasons that's just as good in summer as it is in winter. 👍👍👍

@sargil100 5 лет назад

@jakebraun6376 5 лет назад

At Blake, you should hit up the Coast Gravity Park some weekend. It's on the sunshine coast, one short ferry ride away from whistler. Some say it's one of the best parks in the world 🤔 I'll let you decide 😁

@Azazel518 5 лет назад

Guys, this guide couldn't have come at a better time. I'm off end of June for 2 weeks to Whistler, all those tips were great.only thing was it would have been good if you included Squamish in the Guide as I'm planning of a few days there. Maybe next review??? :-)

@PixelBanger 5 лет назад

Just booked 7 days for the 1st week after opening. Whistler has so many awesome trails and other things to do (as Blake described). This will be my 7th year in a row. Make the trek if you can! I feel very fortunate that it is only a 5 hour drive for me...

@adriankozlowski2116 5 лет назад

Will be there for Canada Day long weekend. Yearly trip. Followed by Silverstar. For those who don't know Silverstar in Vernon is also a great MTB resort. Lots of trails in and around Vernon and Kelowna (Canada).

@loamtrailer805 5 лет назад

Whistler is on my list of parks to visit fore sure, as a Californian, I make it a point to ride Angel Fire bike park in New Mexico, it tickles my fancy as the premier bike park for the region of the Southwest of the USA, if not the whole USA, and it can hold it's own against any park to ride! I highly recommend that place!

@samslichter3566 5 лет назад

Here’s some advice from someone who lives there: 1. Expect repairs. I ride the park on a purpose built 40lb DH bike, and I’ve destroyed rims, a chainguide, a derailleur, among other things. Keep some extra money just in case. 2. Don’t just experience Whistler. On the way up to Whistler, you pass by Mt. Seymour, Mt.Fromme, Cypress Mountain, and Squamish. Definitely consider riding the shore. 3. DONT come at Crankworx, if you want to enjoy riding, at least. Crankworx is at the peak of the summer here. The trails have enormous braking bumps and certain trails are virtually beaches. Another big factor is the smoke. For the last few years we’ve gotten forest fires near the whistler valley that brings tons of smoke and can hurt your lungs. If you want to avoid it, go early July or early September.

The riding is sick! but the prices are starting to push the local towards other trails in the area. Last time I checked peak season in winter your looking at $150+ for a day and summer your now over $75 it seems. I remember when $90 got you three days in the park.

@mattcucci5490 5 лет назад

I've been going to Whistler every summer since 2014. The bike park is my happy place! Your riding will progress more in 3 days then at home. Some things I've learned: If you have a DUI in the states Canada does not want you in their country. Theft is a big problem. Keep an eye on your gear and bike at all times. Injury's are real. US health insurance does not work in Canada. Buy Canadian health insurance before your trip. Do not stay at an air BNB that does not have air conditioning. Do not drive thru Vancouver city during rush hour. Drive up during the night to whistler. Staying at a resort is expensive but I feel its better value if you want to feel like your bike is secure and you are comfortable. ( IE hot shower/ clean beds).

@derman3658 5 лет назад

Thanks for this info. Share more if ya got it dude. Considering going soon

@mattcucci5490 5 лет назад

@elizabethmajor1820 5 лет назад

Some people will stay in Squamish and drive into whistler. Also looking for off season like September/may/June or going midweek could also help with costs as they might be cheaper. Picking weeks where large scale event happen or don't happen will affect cost- ie during pemberton music festival, ironman Canada or crankworx will likely be higher then a week were a smaller event or no event happens. ( I've been told the bike park is very busy during crankworx as well.) There lots of great mountain biking to be had I'm told. ( I'm go for the first time this summer) . There are other places in Britsh columbia who offer similar mountain biking experiences like sun peaks which is the interior or silver star in Vernon which are cheaper then Whistler. I drive by a billboards for sun peaks daily and they just changed from skiing to mountain biking. Local bike shops in the Vancouver/Fraser valley/Squamish can recommend cool places to go too. I hope to go to whistler myself to see crank works - I live like 3.5 hours away from whistler but we will see this year because it so expensive. Finger crossed for no forest fires this year. Last year was really smokey.
