Trip to Squamish singletrack mecca.
Trip to Pemberton's loamy natural surf trails.

Skills clinics provided throughout the holiday with experienced and CMIC/SMBLA

objective setting - pre and post trip?)

Time for some of the best local Whistler technical singletrack.
The trails are a mixture of natural rock steeps, roots, small wooden structures and twisty flowing link sections all with short tech punchy climbs and fast, flowing high grin-factor descents with plenty to catch you out! We're thinking a loop like Sh!t Happens, Big Kahuna, Section 102, KMTM.

Bar and beers.

Whistler Day |
The Infamous Whistler Bike Park - Do not fear there are trails for all abilities. This will involve an introduction to the park, with a focus on line choice, braking, cornering etc, to ensure you get the most out of your descents. They’ll also be some skills options for those that want to learn to jump, drop and generally let it all hangout a bit!

Squamish Day |
Full day riding at this hidden West Coast BC riding gem - home to infamous
Test of Metal and Cheakamus Challenge.
The trail network here spans over 300km and takes in a lush green minature
rainforest, some breathtaking coastal scenery and some of the most creative
rideable! woodwork in the area. Loop idea: Crouching Squirrel, Hidden
Monkey, Don’t Tell Jude, Made in the Shade.

Group dinner back at the lodge in Whistler.
Playstation challenge with bikey prizes

| Tuesday |
Pemberton or Vancouver Northshore |
Pemberton tends to have a crazy little micro-climate of it's own. The trails are nothing like Whistler or Squamish - here, expect very dry, dusty loose trails where the key is steer with your hips when descending, and get the weight down (and tire pressures!) when climbing! There are also a lot of challenging exposed rock sections and ridgelines. A different type of riding style in needed here - expect a challenge!
The infamous Vancouver North Shore! Popular misconceptions aside most of the North Shores woodwork is at ground level and not at a vertigo inspiring 16ft up, although that's there if its your bag. Mt Seymore, think ground level rocky, technical, fun fun descents, with some ground level woodwork...and some drops, of course!
|
Group dinner in the cabin maybe some canoeing on the lake, poker by the
open fire, soaking in the hot tub. |
| Wednesday |
South Chilcotin Mountains |

For those of you however who have the energy, there’s the option of a once-in-a-lifetime helibiking trip from a 6600ft mountain drop (£125 pp). You'll start in the alpine peaks, and descend through the sub, down rocky steeps, tree lined singletrack and naturally formed flow. You can’t get further away from humans and closer to nature than this epic day out. or more Local Whistler Trails.

has improved.
We may even have a bit of a group race / time trail!
