This summer, come explore the best that British Columbia has to offer with an all-mountain riding adventure. We visit Whistler, Pemberton, Squamish and explore the South Chilcotins via float plane on this
British Columbia mountain biking dream trip from September 10th–17th, 2017.
Day 1: Arrive at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) by 11:00am and meet the group to transfer two hours up the Sea to Sky highway to your Whistler hotel. We'll check into the hotel, build our bikes and have a trip orientation before taking a short warm-up ride. In the evening we'll enjoy a group welcome dinner together. If you are not flying, we will make arrangements to meet up at the hotel.
Day 2: Ride out the hotel door for a full day on Whistler’s incredible network of all-mountain trails. A swim in one of Whistler’s lakes is definitely planned post-ride. In the afternoon we'll pack up and check in at a hotel in Pemberton, about 30 minutes away.
Ride: 15 miles, 3,000 feet climb, descent.
Day 3: After breakfast the group will ride out from the hotel to some of the sweetest undiscovered trails in the region. Located on the edge of the Coastal Mountains, Pemberton is lower elevation, much drier and more open than Whistler or Squamish. After riding we'll head to our lakeside cabin in the Southern Chilcotins and enjoy a home-cooked meal together.
Ride: 8.5 miles, 2230 feet climb, descent.
Day 4: This morning the group will fly on a float plane from Tyaughton Lake to the remote teal-blue Lorna Lake surrounded by snowy peaks and glaciers. We will pedal on historic singletrack over vast expanses of rocky alpine terrain in remote mountain passes, through meadows rich with wildflowers and wildlife to Bear Paw Camp, set deep in the heart of the mountains.
Ride: 11 miles, 2,300 feet climb, 1,800 feet descent.
Day 5: We have a few options today, from epic to very epic! No matter what, the minimum distance that we need to pedal is 40 kilometers (or 25 miles), mostly rolling downhill on a beautiful ribbon of singletrack. Hearty riders in the group can opt for some big passes if they wish, including Deer Pass and Windy Pass. The last (massive) descent is back down to our lakeside accommodation and a meal at the lodge near our cabin.
Ride: 25 miles, 1,100-foot climb, 2,500-foot descent.
Day 6: This morning we’ll depart after breakfast and drive back to Whistler for lunch, then 40 minutes further to Squamish dubbed the Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada, a singletrack paradise that’s achieved cult status among mountain bikers. After dropping off the gear at the hotel the group will head out for a ride.
Day 7: After breakfast, the group will head out for a full day exploring Squamish’s endless web of singletrack. You can expect some super fun challenges today, some technical ups and downs. We’ll end the day and trip with a group dinner out in Squamish.
Ride: 10 miles, 2,400-foot climb, descent.
Day 8: After breakfast we will pack up our bikes and catch our flights home. Riders can extend their Vancouver experience by pre-booking hotels downtown. Please book flights no earlier than 3:00pm from Vancouver International Airport.
