Whistler Bike Park - Facts & Figures
Vertical
In a word - huge. Over 1,200m / 4,800ft
Trails
Over 200km of lift-serviced gravity fed, adrenaline fueled descending trails. Something for every level of rider. Gentle, banked cruisers through the Coastal forest through to tight and twisty single track - perfect for intermediate riders.
For the armour clad, full face wearing, 50lb. bike group there are steep rock faces, gnarly, root strewn lines, drop offs of all descriptions and more.
3 Skills Centres: each designed for a different ability level.
- Green skills centre is built close to the ground for riders just learning to clear obstacles and ride planks.
- The blue zone increases the difficulty by raising, narrowing and tightening all of the constructed elements.
- The double black skills centre is for expert riders only including a dazzling display of North Shore-style obstacles.
BikerCross Course
Take it fast, take it slow. Huge banked corners, rhythm sections, table tops, doubles - the closest thing to flying on two wheels.
Garbanzo
During the summer of 2004, the Whistler Mountain Bike Park's vertical tripled with the addition of a network of trails accessed by the Garbanzo Express chair. Riders were treated to 2200 vertical feet of brand new single track trails that fed seamlessly into the 1200' vertical of the existing Park. Top to bottom laps were in excess of an hour.
Don't worry, Whistler's Mountain Bike Park is not just for armour-clad, big drop riders. With over 200km of lift-serviced trails covering 4,000 vertical feet, there are a slew of twisting single-tracks for intermediates and eight-foot wide, cruising runs for beginners (with picnic benches at pullouts and interpretation areas to be soon added).
