Vancouver Island & Whistler Mountain Bike Teen Trip | Evolve Camps
Overview
A ten-day mountain bike trip through three of the best riding regions in North America, built for junior riders who already love the sport and want to ride terrain most adults never get to. Riders progress through Cumberland's legendary single-track, lift-served alpine at Mount Washington, and four full days in Whistler Bike Park — the largest lift-accessed bike park on the continent.
Some riding experience is recommended. This isn't a learn-to-ride week — it's a progression trip for riders who are comfortable on a bike and ready to level up on some of the best-known trail networks in the world, with guided riding, lift-park terrain grading, and a pace built around recovery, not just mileage.
