1500 metres of descent and 250km of trails. This is separated into<br />

several zones, The original being Fitzsimmons and the newest<br />

being Creekside where there is an awesome range of flow and<br />

tech trails. Despite being known for advanced riding, Whistler has<br />

trails for everyone, beautiful scenery, wildlife and loads of nonriding<br />

activities.<br />

Big White is huge in quality<br />

park has long flow trails, tech and some big jumps! Revelstoke<br />

gives riders a BIG mountain experience!<br />

Big White, is embracing mountain biking as quickly as it can get<br />

the trails built. Not only is Big White developing some of the best<br />

trails in BC, it is hosting Crank Works style Big Air and Slopestyle<br />

competitions on a purpose built arena. While not huge in number<br />

the trails are huge in quality, variety and take in the beautiful<br />

landscapes found at Big White. Flow, jumps, rocky tech, rock rolls<br />

and drops are all in abundance at Big White.<br />
