Whistler, British Columbia, is synonymous with lift-served mountain biking, and for good reason. The Whistler Bike Park offers miles of trails for the intermediate to advanced rider, everything from technical, jump filled runs to swoopy, bermed trails that bob and weave through the towering fir and cedar trees. But while the bike park often steals the spotlight, there are countless other opportunities for adventure on and off the bike in the Whistler area. The cross-country riding is world class, with miles of challenging trails offering spectacular views of the surrounding peaks.
Plus, if you find yourself worn out from all the hours of saddle time, there are plenty of rest day activities. Spend a day people watching and checking out the excellent eateries in the Whistler Village, go whitewater rafting, bungee jumping, swimming... the options are endless.

Quebec Residents:
Unfortunately Quebec residents are excluded from this contest. The Regis in Quebec imposes very strict regulations around contests which require an involved approval process, generation of bilingual rules as well as a fairly large fee which is not required elsewhere in Canada. While we would very much like to include Quebec residents, these regulations make the process very difficult for many companies. You will find that many large companies and publications will exclude Quebec residents in contests.
New York Residents:
Unfortunately New York residents are excluded from this contest. The lottery and gaming laws in New York imposes very strict regulations around contests that contain a prize values of over $5,000. These regulations require an involved approval process, as well as a fairly large fee which is not required elsewhere in Canada & USA. While we would very much like to include New York residents, these regulations make the process very difficult for many companies.
Other countries:
All countries have their own local laws regarding contesting and sweepstakes. Due to the varying fees and regulations within each Federal, State, Provincial and Municipal government, unfortunately we can only permit the residents outlined in the rules and regulations to enter the contest.
Lol
When I saw this contest I was like "OMG OMG I'm gonna win a trip to Whistler!"...then I went to Entry Form thinking "OMG OMG I have to select my country in this form"...and then I was like "FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU!!!!"
my nearest trail centre is an hour and a half away, and i live in a really flat area. 70% of my mtb appetite is fed on the internet, with a measly 30% being actual riding. you guys should look out your backyard more often and make the most of what you can ride
Pretty sure a return flight from Heathrow is about £600ish
So , mes cheres quebequois, Comme to join the EEC
I can't wait yo go back. Whistler is awesome!!!
