Top Of The World Mountain Biking Trails On Whistler

Whistler Blackcomb resort has expanded the Summer mountain biking trails to the top of Whistler mountain. The new alpine single track trails were the last part of the already impressive setup that now goes right to the top of the mountain. It is by far the best mountain biking experience available to moderate and advanced riders. The alpine terrain is rather challenging and the amount of elevation covered during the decent is impressive. The best part is that you can take the chair lift to the top and ride down. Make sure to purchase your Top Of The Mountain lift ticket early as possible because they are limited. The photo below is from the new Top Of The World single track mountain biking trails on Whistler mountain.
