WARM IT UP EASY DOES IT, B-LINE, CRANK IT UP

RIDER TYPE: NOVICE RIDERS AND INTERMEDIATE XC/ALL-MTN — Complete beginners and Bike Park rookies can break in their skills on EASY DOES IT, a well manicured doubletrack with lots of room to play around. B-LINE — little brother to Whistler’s famous A-Line — has enough berms to keep you beaming. CRANK IT UP is a Whistler classic and the preferred warm up run for even the best Bike Park riders — a wide-open, rolling ripper with lots of bumps and easy rolling jumps.

TAKE IT UP A NOTCH KARATE MONKEY, ANGRY PIRATE

RIDER TYPE: INTERMEDIATE XC/ALL-MTN — Ready to go a little faster, rail berms a bit harder and squeeze your bars between some tighter trees? KARATE MONKEY is a classic piece of downhill singletrack, with the whoops, switchbacks and towering trees to prove it. Once you’ve dialed the Monkey, step up to ANGRY PIRATE. This trail challenges even the best riders to be as smooth as possible with perfect, tight berms and multiple whoops.

PUSH IT A-LINE, FREIGHT TRAIN, IN DEEP

RIDER TYPE: EXPERT DH AND EXPERT XC/ALL-MTN — Time to put more daylight between earth and tires? A-LINE is a name synonymous with airtime. This trail is simply the most famous lift-accessed bike trail in the world and will test anyone’s limits for high-speed airs and rhythm. A true test of endurance from the top of the Garbanzo Express chair, FREIGHT TRAIN will keep the momentum heavy with big tabletop jumps, step-ups, step-downs and rooty off-camber tech sections. This is not a trail for the weak-hearted: neither in IN DEEP, a steep root-infested journey through the high reaches of the Garbanzo zone.
