New for 2012 season is our T2R All Mountain Adventure package. Being based on our traditional T2R All Mountain Package, we have worked with the guys at Tyax to add the Adventure element in the form of a new four day hut to hut Back Country wilderness mountain biking ride in the Chilcotin Mountains. 

At Ticket2Ride, we have been riding in the Chilcotin Mountains for years now with our hugely popular Spruce Lake float plane assisted ride as well as our rides on the North Cinnabar range in the Chilcotins, and this new adventure has been on the cards for a number of years and we are now excited to be having it available for our guests to enjoy. 

Back Country Wilderness Tour in the Chilcotins

The four day tour starts with the vehicle transfer up to Tyax Lake Resort from Whistler, taking the scenic drive North over the Hurley Pass. On arrival we have the rest of the day to settle into the comfort of the luxury Tyax Lake Resort and make use of the facilities as well as exploring the local trails around the Tyaughton Lake.

Then the next morning you set off on our ride to the back country cabin that you will be spending the night at. All of your required gear is trasported to the camp via pack horse, and with the guide leading the way, all you need to do is enjoy the ride and take in the breath taking scenery. On arrival at the camp, we will be greeted by the camp host who will prepare a hearty camp meal before you rest up for the night and take in the huge star filled sky night.

The next day is much of the same. After a camp breakfast it is back on the bike and off on the sweet single track trails that wind on through to the next camp where you will again be greeted by a camp host to look after you and prepare a meal for your second night in the back country.

The final days ride brings you back to the luxury of the Tyax Lake Resort, where you will enjoy all the comforts of the lodge and its spa, eat in the restaurant and enjoy a relaxing night before we head back to Whistler the following morning after breakfast. .      

Whistler, Squamish and Pemberton

Although the highlight of your time with us may well be the Back Country tour in the Chilcotins, we have so much more for you to enjoy on your All Mountain Adventure package.

The Whistler Valley has a large number of excellent all mountain trails, which will give you an insight in to a side of Whistler that not that many people get to see.

Squamish is located just 45 minutes down the Sea-to-Sky Highway and is a singletrack Mecca set within coastal rain forest, it is well known for its technical all mountain trails, wicked descents, and incredible scenery.

Pemberton is tucked beyond the Coastal Mountains approximately 45 minutes north of Whistler. This cult riding town offers a myriad of natural technical climbing with buff, flowing dusty descents and the occasional exposed rock feature to conquer.

Each of our All Mountain adventure guided loops include challenging climbs that are rewarded with well earned flowing descents. The all mountain riding based around the Sea-to-Sky corridor and up to the Chilcotin Mountains is simply unparalleled. Super smooth, flowing yet technical singletrack descents, technical switch back climbs. 

This package has been specifically put together with the intermediate to advanced All Mountain rider in mind, and would not be suitable for novice mountain bike riders. 

This two week package is only available starting on the 23rd of June and 1st of September
