Top Of The World at Whistler

16 Jul 2013

It would just not be right if we let last weekends opening of the Top of the World trail at Whistler Bike Park go by without featuring it as the Tuesday Trail this week! Another gem from the Whistler Gravity Logic boys, this brings alpine single track to Whistler in a big way. Who better to describe it than the Whistler team themselves...

"The Top of the World trail is a mind blowing experience which takes the flow that the Whistler Mountain Bike Park is famous for and drops it on the Peak of Whistler Mountain. With some of the world's best riding set against the granite spires of the Coast Range, Top of the World is the pinnacle of alpine riding.

Beginning at the top of the Peak Chair on Whistler Mountain, Top of the World will take you through Whistler's insane alpine environment on tacky smooth single track filled with built up berms, switchback corners and fun flowy descents along the way. The trail winds its way down the back side of Whistler Mountain, dipping into areas not even open for skiing in the winter. It bisects HWY 86 and rolls along the Peak to Creek magnum opus ski run before cutting back over to HWY 86 where it joins the Garbanzo bike trails, Freight Train and No Joke at the wall ride tunnel."

So here it is. Try to hold back the tears and then go book your flights...
