As with many adventure sports, riding in the Whistler
Bike Park involves the risk of injury, including serious
injury, head injury, paralysis or death. The risk of
injury increases with the degree of difficulty of the
trail and the speed of descent. Although the risk of
injury can never be eliminated, the rider can manage
the risk through controlling speed and choosing
terrain appropriate for the rider’s skill and experience.
Orientation sessions, lessons, clinics and coaching
offered through the Whistler Bike Park will also assist
the rider in managing the risk of injury.
The use of the Whistler Bike Park is subject to the
Bike Park release of liability, waiver of claims and
assumption of risk agreement.
For further details, please contact Guest Services.

AFTERNOON
DELIGHT
We make every effort to ensure our Bike Park is built for fun and safety,
but all riders have the responsibility to come prepared for whatever the
trails bring. Before you ride, take note of your bike equipment, new trail
conditions and how you’re feeling throughout the day. It’s important to
stay hydrated, eat a snack or take a break, especially in the summer.
Don’t push it if you aren’t feeling it. Mountain biking is a sport with
inherent risks and serious injury can occur.
SLOW DOWN BEFORE YOU SPEED UP. Crashes can happen on your
first lap. Ride the trail multiple times to get familiar with the
features and equipment you’re on so you can confidently push your
limits without pushing your threshold. Jumping skills are required
for freeride trails.
