Tips for Your Trip

  • Plan for all conditions. Whistler can have different an unexpected weather changes. You're in the mountains, so act accordingly. Plan to bring layers and rain protection in the event of a sudden storm. You'll be grateful you did. 
  • Be sure to get some time away from the bike park. It's the biggest draw to the area, but the single track riding is spectacular. Look for guided riding in the area or contact us for more information on multistop trips near Whistler. 
  • Decide if you are booking a private group or joining a trip. Private groups have their advantages, and typically require 4-6 riders minimum. This includes helibiking. You'll have more control over the type of riding the group will do over the course of the trip. If you plan to join a trip with preset dates and a group you don't know, be sure to be honest and clear about your ability level and what you are hoping to accomplish/what you are comfortable with. This will help our team better match you with the right group and trip for you. 
  • Decide on what type of riding your group wants. If you're group wants to mix it up, be sure you know that going in. If you just want to downhill the entire time, be aware of the options available and make sure you're thinking about bike rentals ahead of time.
