Thanks for watching the vid! Plenty more from Whistler here (playlist): tinyurl.com/y7fjdgfe
This is so good! I'm leaving for Whistler this Saturday and this guide was perfect. Can't wait to hit Creekside and Whistler Brewing! Thanks for the info!!!
Dusty's at Creekside has awesome ribs and beer and has the best vibe of any of the bars, I reckon. Just don't ride black tech trails on the way home after too many beers...🙄
U Have The BEST Mountain Biking Channel In The Whole World . I Love U Guys SOOO MUCH :)
Where is the "part 2" of this video?
please make a part 2!! include more about the other activities within 30min-1hr drive of whistler. more on the food and beer. different trails around? squamish? what to expect with crowds etc maybe show a map and discuss how to get around :D I'm from Australia and I've ridden heaps in southern hemisphere but i'm a clueless noob when it comes to Canada. I'll defs be going there asap!
Thanks for the suggestions! Yup, you gotta get yourself to Canada.
Yes Squamish/Fromme guide please Mr Loam! I used your previous Whistler guide just last week and it worked like a charm, many thanks for that. Gonna hit either Squamish or Fromme in September so could use a guide, and if there are actual guided rides you could suggest as well, that would be great!
Fan-*TASTIC* idea for a video that was executed perfectly! 👌 This is going to be an awesome guide for a lot of people!
Agreed! I'm only an interested spectator to this kind of riding and found this video incredible.
I was at Whistler about a month and when you said it's a "mountain bikers heaven", I can totally agree!!
Absolutely. Love it there.
It's a long way from Australia but it's on the bucket list! Great video, thanks heaps.
And that's one trip in planning as soon as time allows it :D
I visited Whistler last week. It has been great and totally agree with your reviews on this video. Also we did heli drop thanks to your information. Maybe next year I will visit again.
Nice! Glad you could get out for the heli drop.
the OGs of the channel will know you did this video a while back :D! But surely not as extensive as this updated one!
Haha yup I did a "Whistler Hacks" video this time last year. It was time for an update!
Yeah let's see a Part 2!!!👍👍🤘
We lived in Edmonton for a year but we had to move to USA because of work and I regret not going to Whistler Bike Park. I'll definitely go there someday once we moved back to Canada. Thank you so much for this very informative video!
And yet again, another awesome video man! I dream of going to Whistler, and one day I will make that dream come true.
@6:40 that trail looks amazing. I absolutely love the smooth flowie trails like that, with some nice jumps!
Thanks for the Whistler "how to" man. I'll have to keep this video in mind for when I make it there.
Cheers brotha!
Thanks! Yes those new flow trails are crazy good. Whistler is worth the trip!
I ride the park every week but I still found this entertaining. Great vid!
Great video. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would get a chance to go to whistler but I am now. so watching this video was awesome. Lets see how it goes. Thank you.
I don’t live anywhere near Whistler. Heck, I’m not an adult yet to go there, but I love watching this for the future because it’s my dream to go there!
Very lucky to have family in the village to stay with. Doing my first trip this weekend, fired up to ride real rocks finally
Coming back to this video after crossing Whistler Bike Park off the bucket list last summer! Phenomenal video, Whistler really did live up to all the expectations and was the "happiest place on earth".
I know some guys who went to crankworx they said it was chaotic for the people who didn't know what they were doing but this guide will help
Totally. It's a madhouse during Crankworx!
Do more, just do more plz! I'm from Denmark and to some day go to Whistler would be a dream!
Thanks! As I always say... make a plan and make it happen. You'll get out to Whistler sooner than you think, I'm sure!
I love Whistler! Best riding. Period.
Wow this was super detailed and in-depth! Can't wait for a part 2! Would also love to see a series like this for Revelstoke as that place is truly a hidden gem.
Good idea! I'll be headed there for the first time in a few weeks. Can't wait!
Super complete, wish I had seen this before my first time at Whistler!
Thanks! There's always more to add but I'm glad this was useful for ya. Now get back to Whis!
Probably one of my favorite videos in the past year! Love the work you're putting out!
Nice! Thanks for the feedback Russell!
Perfect timing. I'm setting here filling out my passport application to get into Canada to ride around Whistler & Squmish for a few weeks in September & this video pops up. I'm saving it for a reference guide cause there is such good advice on it that I can use👍👍
Haha that's awesome. You won't be disappointed!
Woohooo!! perfect timing..flying out Saturday!!! Thanks Ryan!!
Nice! Me too actually. See you there!
Nice!!! hope to see you !!!

Really good dude! If your fork can except a vorsprung luftkappe install one now! Best upgrade I have ever done to my bike.
Thanks! Ya that's what I hear about the Luftkappe.
Great tips dude! Stoked to be heading out there in a few weeks! Living out of the van and being a bike bum just like 85% of people in whistler hahaha!
Haha you'll be right there with BCPOV. Enjoy Whis!
Awesome vid! Love it!

Thanks! You're gonna love it.
Loved it
Thank you! This is really helpful, I usually ski at Whistler but I’m getting a part time job soon to save up for a trip to Whistler in the summer (my parents don’t like me going skiing and mountain biking so they refuse to pay for me hehe)
This is Original Content. Good Job
Thanks!
Thanks for great guide
Cheers!
Thx for this vid dude ! I hope going to Whistler
You're welcome. Make it happen!
Best video !
Fab video Loam Ranger
Thanks!
I want to go there so bad!
Make a plan and make it happen!
if i could only ride 1 zone, i would ride fitzimmons
I think I'd have to agree with you.
looks awesome
It is!
I want to ride there so bad
Cool Video and nice Rider 🙃
Haha thanks!
Great vid mate. Funny when you said sorry about the audio i thought you were referring to his Aussie accent....lol, being Australian i have heard shit like that before. I know you meant the trucks etc now though.
Would love to hit whistler one day, gonna bookmark this for then, may still be of use :D
I hope so!
Too late, I just went there and had to learn the hard way :) Anyway good to watch
Haha well, even learning the hard way is a lot of fun in Whistler :D
when it comes to video quality-production ,story line ,music,etc..... you are right up there,just below seth, you have surpassed already youtubers who came before you and have more subs,but you have more entertaining videos ;-)
Thanks for the kind words!
after 10 runs in my first day at whistler, it felt like all my fingers were broken and had totally swollen wrists, i'd reccomend gloves with some padding
Haha yup.
Gloves don't help with sore hands... in order of importance:
1) Tire pressure
2) Suspension (esp. fork) setup
3) Grips
4) Alignment of your brake/shifters on the bar so wrists are in a good position
5) Relax your hands, don't deathgrip.
cool video ;)
Thanks!
That was a great video, i watch all your vids but I'm headed to Whistler in 2020, so that was on point for me. I noticed in the TLD shop you mentioned "Snowboard stuff" and kept walking... did you realise that was Shaun Palmers snowboard you walked by? I know its a snowboard but he's a MTB Godfather dude!! Thanks for the vid man.
Ha really? I used to have Shaun Palmer posters on my wall! Never followed his snowboarding side of things though.
yeah man, i only realised because of the large moto numbers on the board, his trademark "555", and the fact he has always been a Troy Lee ambassador since the early days.Keep up the good work dude.
ridebooker/whistelr shuttle/whistler connect is legit.
protip: get a seat on the left side of the van!
Totally! Gotta get those Sea To Sky views
Man I wish it wasnt so expensive to get there from Perth Australia. Would so love to give those trails a shot
Make it happen! I think half of Whistlers population is Australian, so it must be doable haha
Pacific coach is another company which offers airport pickup and has a toilet on the bus, carries bikes as well
pls part 2
🔥
I recommend using Vrbo because y’all can get some crazy deals on nice accommodations
Why does this have only 46k views, yet Blue Velvet has many millions?
I don't understand why so many more would watch that?
I’m debating wether to get the hero 4 or 5, I’m also interested in mountain biking. PLEASE HELP!!!!
If I was to plan a "bucket list" trip to Whistler, what's the best time of the year to book for safe weather? I know nothing is guaranteed, but I'd hate to fly halfway around the globe for terrible weather!!!
I'm also torn about avoiding Crankworx, or experiencing it. Don't want to be stuck in hour long lift lines and ride chewed up trails and have no hotel rooms available etc....
First part should be IF YOUR VERY RICH ESSENTIAL GUIDE. becouse there are busses that can take you, and that hotel you recommend is incredibly expensive.
I’m going to whistler soon and I have a trail bike with 120mm of travel, don’t have the money to rent, so is there a way to get the absolute most out of my travel and save my hands some serious pain😂
How are you liking the Pole Evolink after having it for a while now? I am really interested in purchasing that bike for myself, and curious on how it has been as your go to bike.
Like I said on Patreon, planning late September trip to BC, this vid will be epic! Does anyone know if the park is open weekdays in September, first week of October? There site wasn't 100% clear on that.
I've ridden mid-week in October before, so you should be good to go!
While this video is pretty old but my question is timeless. What's the best time of year to ride Whistler? In relation to trail conditions.. ty
If you prefer natural tech and don't like flow, is the park worth it or should you just head out to Whistler Valley (I think it's called)/north and west of town?
What wold you be replacing after a couple days of riding....?
Whistler hotels are SO FRICKING EXPENSIVE
Hey - when is the series on your training for Peru coming?
We ran out of time to film what I wanted to with that series, unfortunately. I do plan on doing some kind of follow up this fall though.
Could I ride a hardtail down Whistler?
Im rewatching this Vid and now Realize these HardTail Chromag Riders are Insane crrazy in the Head Kind of people. Hours of Gnarly Descents and they dont even feel beat up after a ride.
Or! Do they Buy these Chromag hardtails when they are extremely advanced riders in their mind?
Do you get to keep the gopros??
how much are the bike rentals approx
Excellent info, thank you! Question, if you DO need to get replacement parts, which bike shop options are there? Is it worth a drive to go somewhere because it’s much cheaper than the resort? Thanks.
Prices are the same roughly at most shops in the village and down to Squamish. You can call around and see if something is on sale but generally it's pretty hard to save money other than ordering online. Even in Vancouver prices are roughly the same. I would call Fanatykco, Arbutus Routes, Coastal Culture, Evolution Sports for part prices in Whistler before going to the GBB owned by the resort for example.
Excellent info, thanks!
How much does a rent dh bike costs on whistler?
Any chance you're edmontonian? If so and you're looking for someone to spot you on gnarly rides I'd love to ride with you sometime.
I gotta question: how much does it cost to rent a downhill bike at whistler?
what month would you recommend for a trip? me and a couple of friends want to make a trip from germany and are unsure when to go ^^
I’d say go when all zones are open to get the most out of the mountain, including the Peak Zone for the Top Of The World Trail. So late July to early September would be ideal, IMO.
I'm also a ski/snowboading guy. Around bike park closing day can i enjoy both bike and ski?
Not sure about closing day, but I know on opening day for the bike park, the upper mountain is still open for skiers!
