This summer, Phat Wednesdays - Presented by @kokaneebeer are back! Riders can put their skills to the test with our ever-popular race series, complete with an awesome aprés at @glcwhistler and tons of prizes from Bike Park sponsors including @crankbrothers, @srammtb, @foxmtb, @rockshox, and more! Here’s everything you need to know for 2023: 🚵‍♂️ The series will be limited to 6 events. Dates will be May 31, June 7, June 14, July 5, August 16, August 23. 🚵‍♂️ Throughout the season, races will be geared towards progression and inclusion. Riders looking to get involved are encouraged to jump on the bike and put their skills to the test. 🚵‍♂️ Each evening will finish off with an après at Garibaldi Lift Company and loads of prizing from Bike Park Sponsors. 🚵‍♂️ The on-mountain plate pick up has changed (tentatively moved to Ollie’s Grilled Cheese Hut outside of Olympic Mid-station). 🚵‍♂️ Riders will be racing on new trails or varied versions of old favorites (more on this to come once Creekside and Garbanzo open on June 10). 🚵‍♂️ Similar to last season, we will NOT be able to accept cash at registration on race day. Individual race entries will have to be purchased online in advance and will be limited. See you at the start line later this month! 🏁

Oh we’re most definitely back. See you tomorrow morning at 10am for Whismas in the Bike Park. #ridenowsleeplater #whistlermountainbikepark #whismas

⚠️ Bike Park Update ⚠️   At the end of last season, we announced that our beloved Fitz Chair was getting a major facelift in 2023. As we prepare for the summer ahead we wanted to provide you all with an update on what to expect in the Bike Park this season.    1) Demolition of Fitzsimmons Chair has begun and it will remain closed for the entirety of the 2023 season.  2) A new Fitzsimmons 8-pack will debut in 2024 with an increased upload capacity by over 50%!  3) Whistler Village Gondola will be your main point of upload into the Bike Park via the main village. 4) We are asking all sightseers to upload via Blackcomb Gondola with the option to download WVG.  5) The Creekside Zone received a MAJOR update last season. While construction crews were busy upgrading the new 10-person gondola, our trail crews were busy adding several new trails for you to explore this summer. We've added tech, flow, and the always-requested more jumps! These new trails will range from Blue, Black, Double Black and Pro Lines.  6) Insomnia has a new "Advanced-Freeride" trail rating... yes that means even more jumps in Creekside!  7) As construction progresses you can expect some rolling closures to certain trails in the Fitzsimmons Zone. This will mainly affect sections of trail that cross the Fitz Chair haul line, but we will be sure to keep you updated as we receive information on closures from the construction crew. 8) Yes, A-line will be open! Aside from the upper section that will see some rolling closures, the majority of A-line will remain open all season.    As we edge closer and closer to those long gravity-fueled days in the Bike Park, we just want to make sure everyone is up to date and in the know on all of the ongoing construction taking place this summer. There is no denying the Bike Park will look a little different this year, but there are still plenty of reasons to be excited about this summer!   We can’t wait to see you out on the trails.

After a year-long hiatus it’s finally time to welcome riders back to the Creek! Join us tomorrow, June 10th, at the Creekside Base as we kickoff the #YearOfTheCreek celebrations.
