The Whistler Mountain Bike Park has levels to suit all bikers from gentle runs through the forest to tight, fast, twisty and gnarly, along with jump parks, skills centres and a biker cross. Whistler Mountain Bike Park is only open in the summertime, about May 20 - October 10.

There's also magnificent road cycling, regular cross-country biking at all levels on many different trails and easy, more-or-less flat cycling for casual riders and families.
