What's New on the Mountains
Summer Operations Update for Whistler Blackcomb
Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains are now closed for the Winter 2024/25 skiing and riding season, but summer has officially arrived with the opening of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park on May 16 and sightseeing on the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola as of May 17. Learn more about the Whistler PEAK 2 PEAK 360 Experience.
What's New at Whistler Mountain Bike Park This Season
With trail crews hard at work and the early melt in our favour, Whistler is stoked for another summer of legendary laps in the Fitz Zone and beyond. New this year, guests can look forward to a range of updates across the park including a new access point to Zone 2 A-Line and Ninja Cougar, an alternate exit for BCC trails in Creekside, an extension of Pumpkin Moon, upgraded wall rides on Crank It Up thanks to SRAM / RockShox, plus a refreshed Commencal rental fleet with bold new colourways.
Returning this year are the always-popular Phat Wednesday races, the BC Cup, Canada Cup and, of course, Crankworx Whistler — the world’s biggest celebration of gravity-fuelled mountain biking, which has moved back to August. View all bike events
