Just like the iconic Whistler namesake trail suggests, this holiday is for those of the XC / Singletrack persuasion who relish punishing switchback climbs rewarded with punchy technical fast flowing descents in such iconic locations such as Squamish and Pemby – a high grin factor guaranteed!
The XC riding centred around the Whistler Valley area is simply unparalleled. Super smooth flowing singletrack descents, technical switch back climbs and small North Shore style XC routes await.
Heading 1hr down the sea-2-sky highway takes you to the infamous singletrack mecca that is Squamish - well known for its technical singletrack trails, which feature gruelling climbs, wicked descents, and incredible scenery. Over 250 trails are available in the region (approximately 700 km), which are spread across a number of riding areas. Squamish has been many times voted as one of the top 25 wildest and exotic places to ride in the world, with the Powersmart trail listed as one of the top 10 single track trails in North America.
Heading approximately 45 minutes north of Whistler takes you to Pemberton, the heart of mountain biking centred around Mosquito and Ivey Lakes. Hidden away are technical climbs up to 6000ft where buff, flowing almost surf-style descents are the order of the day, with the occasional ridgeline and rock steep thrown into the mix.
A riding holiday to this part of the world wouldn't be complete without a trip to one of these cult towns. However, to reach such destinations requires not only extensive local trail knowledge and local guide, but also a 4x4 with support driver to take you there.
Combine all of this with the full T2R guiding and rider centre service and you have the Comfortably Numb experience.
