Day 17: Whistler Bike Park


Riding where it all started about 35 years ago …

Here’s a breakdown of the key milestones: 

  • Early 1990s: Blackcomb Mountain began experimenting with lift-accessed mountain biking, which led to the concept for the Whistler Bike Park.
  • 1996: The idea for the park was fully realized, and the opening weekend saw over 500 participants.
  • 1998: The Whistler Mountain Bike Park officially opened to the public.
