Getting Ready
All About Bikes
A high-performance DH bike and eMTB bike is included in the trip price. We know that quality eMTB’s and components are paramount. We take the time to ensure that our rental bikes are inspected, well-maintained and have appropriate tires, brakes, extra parts and more. We will communicate all aspects of the bike to riders prior to the trip.
This is an advanced level trip with full days of riding with four+ hours in the saddle. All nights are spent in the same hotel so you can unpack once and step out the door to all of the amenities and energy of the Whistler Village.
Expect purpose-built singletrack in forests with a range of features such as roots, rocks, steeps, berms, small bridges, and rock slab sections. Surfaces are compact dirt and loam that can be muddy in wet weather, as well as some dry and loose sections. There are graduated trails from intermediate to expert, and riders can extend rides on all days.
15 – 24km, 4-6 hours
Always ride well within your limits and ride conservatively. There is no shame in walking your bike on a section that makes you uncomfortable, and walking your bike is mandatory in sections that you are not 110% confident in riding.
We stay in one hotel in Whistler Village: a 3-star hotel in the heart of Whistler village, complete with a pool and hot tub.
Two dinners
The Sea to Sky region in British Columbia is a food lover’s paradise, blending stunning natural beauty with diverse culinary experiences. Known for its fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, the area offers everything from ocean-fresh seafood to burgers and Michelin-worthy restaurants. Visitors can enjoy craft breweries, artisan bakeries, and farm-to-table dining, with flavors that celebrate the region’s wild landscapes and coastal influences.
Our Whistler hotel has an overnight laundry service.
Late September is a great time to visit and ride Whistler and the Sea to Sky region. However, as with all mountain environments, weather can change quickly and drastically. Expect temperatures of 15-20 degrees Celsius in the town/valley and temperatures of 10 degrees Celsius on the mountaintops and at night. Rain is always possible so please bring appropriate clothing for wet weather riding.
The currency in BC is the Canadian Dollar (CAD). ATM machines are readily available, and credit cards are widely accepted.
Gratuities for your Big Mountain guides may be given at your discretion in response to their professionalism and leadership throughout the week, typically riders provide 5-10% of the trip price per individual guest to be divided among your guiding team as a standard. A 15-20% tip is generally expected for good service at restaurants and bars.
