April - May 2018

Whistler Blackcomb Strategic Alliances Newsletter

Spring time might be our favorite season in Whistler, as you can get in a few turns in the morning followed by bike park laps in the afternoon. May 18th was opening day for the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, May 21st last day to ski/ride Blackcomb Mountain and May 26th summer alpine sightseeing kick-off.

Whistler Mountain Bike Park Opening Day

Everything opens, and with many of those openings comes a new opportunity to do something great. In the off-season, you may have spent some time opening up a textbook, maybe cracked open a couple of cold ones, or even opened up your arms to friends you haven’t seen in a while. Because that’s what you do when the park is closed. And those moments are great. But when the time comes for the dirt to firm up, the laptop to be put down, and the bike to come out – one opening stands out from the rest. Lift-access riding is back in your life, with new trails and fresh lines, so open your hand and close it around your handlebar – the Bike Park opened Friday, May 18th.
