Whistler Mountain Bike Park

The bike park every other bike park is measured against.

Four lift-served zones drop more than 4,900 vertical feet from alpine rock to rainforest loam, with A-Line, Dirt Merchant and a deep bench of greens for first-timers. The Fitzsimmons Zone runs right out of Whistler Village, so lodging, rentals and après are a short walk away. It suits everyone from first-day riders with a lesson to racers chasing the World Cup track, if you can stomach the ticket prices.
