Looking for a Whistler base for your mountain biking holiday, with great mountain biker friendly accommodation, people to ride with, fully spec’d bike workshop, secure bike storage and with the flexibility to pick and choose which tours you want to upgrade to? Then our BBM package is the one for you.

On the BBM package, we collect you from the airport and bring you up to Whistler where you are accommodated in one of our riders’ lodges, located on the edge of Whistler village with the Lost Lake trails right on our doorstep and only a ten minute walk to all the shops and restaurants and, of-course, the Whistler Bike Park lifts.

Our guests can choose to stay at one of our three accommodation options or book their own accommodation independently. Each of our rider accommodations are set up to accommodate mountain bikers so have, secure bike storage, access to tools, bike washing facilities, and laundry services. Each of the accommodation options have ensuite rooms with fridges, Cable TV and free wi-fi coverage. Each accommodation also has a sundeck, hot tub and sauna for relaxing in after a hard day in the saddle.

To help you acclimatise to the riding in Whistler our Basic Big Mountain package includes a guided intro day ride, where you have the choice of either a BC Intro Day, where we take you on a tour of the excellent trails that are right on our door step, whilst introducing you to some of the more technical aspects of riding in British Columbia, such as rock rolls and woodwork. Whilst introducing you to these features we will also teach you the skills needed to negotiate them successfully and in doing so improve your confidence and riding ability.

Alternatively, you can choose to have your guided intro day in the Whistler Bike Park where our qualified guides will customise the day to your riding ability and give you an insight into what the Whistler Bike Park trails have to offer from the easiest green runs through to the more extreme options, plus we’ll help you to further your skills so that you get the most out of your time riding the Park.

After your guided intro day you will have plenty of riding to choose from; it might be that you want to ride the Whistler Bike Park every day, or you may choose to upgrade and join some of the guided day rides we offer each day, such as our heli-biking on Rainbow Mountain or an All Mountain guided day in Squamish.

The choice is yours on the BBM package, but whatever you choose the T2R team will be on hand to help with whatever you need and we will even drop you off at the airport at the end of your stay.
