It's the calm before the proverbial summer storm in Whistler: another summer kicks off in earnest at Whistler Blackcomb (WB) on May 16 with the opening of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park.
If you've never ridden the park before, check out this orientation guide, and find a map of trails here.
If sightseeing is more your jam, WB's got you covered there, too, with spring sightseeing available on Whistler Mountain (upload via Whistler Village) beginning May 17. The Peak 2 Peak starts spinnning June 14, when WB's full summer ops schedule gets underway.
"New this summer atop Whistler Mountain, wellness event Nourish will bring yoga classes, guided meditation, sound baths, cooking classes, speaker series and more, hosted in an immersive geometric dome. Forged Axe Throwing will bring a Canadian classic to the alpine with axe throwing sessions on weekends. It's all part of Whistler Blackcomb's epic and unrivaled Summer Alpine Experience," Vail Resorts said in a press release.
"Don't skip the Whistler Summer Concert Series featuring an impressive lineup of free outdoor concerts in Whistler Olympic Plaza. Even better, Pass Holders unlock the biggest savings during Vail Resorts' Summer Escape Lodging Sale, with an extra 20% off already discounted rates at hotels, chalets, and residences through May 12. Stay for winter to experience Whistler Blackcomb in a new way with Wonder Routes, a network of trails, waypoints and stops to discover different terrain based on the type of day skiers and riders want to experience.
