WHISTLER

Whistler Mountain is a bike riders Mecca. With 200km of purpose built trails, slopestyle parks and dirt jumps, it could very easily lay claim to the best lift assisted riding in the world. Located in the British Columbia Mountains on the West Coast of Canada, just over two hours from Vancouver, Whistler offers world beating biking for riders of all levels with a huge graded trail network – suitable for everyone from families and beginners right up to the biggest names in professional freeride and downhill, who make Whistler their summer home. What is more, Whistler isn’t only limited to the Bike Park; it can also be used as the perfect base from which to ride the north shore trails of Squamish and Pemberton, and for more adventurous forays into Heli-biking and even road trips to Mt. Washington on Vancouver Island.

THE TOWN

Whistler is one of the most international and exciting resorts in the world. Its village style and pedestrianised cobbled streets create a unique and vibrant atmosphere by day and by night. In the summer, there is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with shops and restaurants open until late, and a huge variety of bars and clubs to keep you going into the early hours. Summer activities are not limited to Mountain Biking; other activities include world class golf and fly-fishing, rafting, kayaking, para-sailing, bungee jumping, rock climbing, hiking, tennis and even windsurfing and volleyball!
