The World famous Whistler Bike Park is renowned as the premier bike park for good reason. With over 4000 feet of mountain terrain to descend and more than 50 named trails accessed by two dedicated chairlifts and a gondola, there is more than enough riding to keep even the most hardcore riders entertained and challenged for several weeks.

Our Simply Bike Park package has evolved from our experiece of entertaining hundreds of guests each season who travel to Whistler to experience the Bike Park with us.

Put simply we have taken all of the hassle out of making a trip to Whistler to ride your bike and added in some elements to help you make the most of the experience and ensure you have a great time.

The Simply Bike Park package starts when we collect you from Vancouver airport and transport you and your bike up to one of our three accommodation locations. Once in resort we are there to help you get your bike set up for the Whistler Bike Park in our fully fitted Park Tools work shop, with our team ready to help you get your bike set up perfectly for the riding you are about to love.

No matter which of our Whistler based accommodation locations you choose, you can be rest assured that you will have everything you need as a mountain biker staying in Whistler. 

On the first night of your stay we host a welcome to Whistler Ticket2Ride night, where we have some food, welcome all our new guests and go over the plan for the coming week or weeks depending on the time frame you are staying with us.

On the Simply Bike Park package you will be guided for the first two days of riding in the Whistler Bike Park by one of our qualified bike park guides. These two days are set up as intro days to give everyone a chance to have a look around the bike park to see what is there on offer and to get used to the style of riding and the features that exist in the bike park. After each day we will head to one of the local establishments for an apre drink or two. 

These two intro days are a fun social time to get to know the other guests we have staying at the same time, as these are often the people you will end up riding and socialising with for the rest of your stay.  

The Simply Bike Park package includes a five day bike park pass for each week you are staying with Ticket2Ride. 

After the first two guided days are over, you are free to enjoy the Whistler Bike Park at your leisure, however the Ticket2Ride crew will be on hand at any time to help out with any bike teching at the work shop, providing any in resort assistance needed and also organsing evening socials and meal venues for those who wish to partake. 

Each week there is the Ticket2Ride hosted barbeque and get together for all the guests and at the end of your stay there is the transfer for you and your bike back down to Vancouvers airport in time for your flight home.
