Whistler valley trails

Pedal-up singletrack from Lost Lake to the alpine.

Away from the lifts, WORCA looks after a web of hand-built singletrack around the valley: rooty classics at Lost Lake, Kashmir in Whistler South and the long alpine descent of Lord of the Squirrels off Sproatt. Most networks start from the paved Valley Trail, so you can ride out from your door. It suits fit trail and enduro riders who like to earn their descents; a guide helps on a first visit.
