Anyone been, any recommendations, any tips?
I've got a chance to bags few days mid August. Need to hire a bike mind, but very keen to go.
Any experience with any and all of the above greatly welcome 🙂
Go!
The trails are great in Whistler and the surrounding area. The bike park is great fun for a couple of days descending. The Helidrop is expensive but since its not something I'd do very often (if ever again) it was well worth it. Also took a float plane to the start of one trail in the Chilcotins.
I recommend
a day or 2 in the bike park max
going to Squamish
not doing a 'river runs through it' or 'thrill me kill me'
going to Pemberton
Bike park is ace. Local XC is ace. Post ride beers and nachos on GLC terrace talking it up and watching people do the drops is ace.
Rainbow mountain heli-biking is worth it for the experience and the memories/photos. Depending on which way you go at the bottom it's a pretty tasty trail too.
I've been 3 times now and (hopefully) will be going back again. Some videos wot I made: [url] http://www.mountainbikerides.co.uk/video/17-whistler.html [/url] Shed load of photos knocking about on my site too....
Awesome feedback, thanks guys.
Whistler is awesome. Did just over 2 months there last year and didn't get bored of the bike park which I rode pretty much every day! I did some of the local xc stuff which was also good but I think riding a dh bike on it didn't really do it much justice..
Blue/Black Velvet > Too Tight > Crank It Up is a fun combo 🙂 As is Freight Train > Dirt Merchant > end of A-Line or Hornet > GLC
Hopefully going back next year for a week or 2 and I can't wait!
not doing a 'river runs through it'
Why not? It's fun!
