I am by no means an expert gravity rider but the Whistler Bike Park is easily one of the most amazing places I’ve ever had a chance to ride. There are dozens of trails for all skill levels and the quality of their build-out and design is second to none. It’s a reason it has the reputation that it does—it’s earned it.

This year the park is opening two weeks early thanks to low snow levels in the lower Fitzsimmons Zone. If you have a visit planned you can take advantage of early bird pricing on lift passes from now until June 12. The deals are available for unlimited season passes, twilight passes, the Top of the World passes and now five and ten-day passes. Also new this season is the addition of spring-time extended play hours until 8 p.m. every Saturday from May 16 until June 13 (when extended play will run daily), adding four more evenings of twilight riding to the schedule.

I’ll be there for Crankworx this fall, if not sooner. See you there!
