Tips on how to ride safely and responsibly.

Sea to Sky Biking. The True Mecca.

Congratulations. You’ve discovered the mountain bike mecca that is British Columbia’s Sea to Sky region. This is where six passionate biking communities deliver endless trail options that take riders through rugged forests, towering mountains, and stunning coastline. Exploring this corner of BC during the off-season (fall and spring), you'll find trails are less busy, the dirt is more tacky, and the best deals are available.

From gentle cruises to hair-raising descents, riding the Sunshine Coast, Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, South Chilcotins, and Vancouver’s North Shore is an unmatched experience anywhere else in the world.

Pemberton

Pemberton

Rootsy Revelations, Rowdy Lines

Hundreds of trails and an earthy little town nestled up against the edge of true wilderness, Pemberton is known as the “hub of the wheel”. The town is a staging area for epic rides in the Chilcotins, Duffy Pass, or Hurley Pass, and is the land of hitching posts, First Nations legends, and the world’s only organic potato vodka distillery. Trail-dense and technical, the singletrack is “steep, deep and demands your full attention.” Be warned. The views are dangerously distracting.

South Chilcotin

South Chilcotin

A Pocket of Riding Gold

Gold-hungry pioneers packed down the trails you ride in the South Chilcotins, and it’s that bike-a-neering spirit you’ll want to embody as you explore the 200 km (124 mi) of singletrack fun. It’s all about the “carrot in the sky” where vertical climbs, either on two wheels or via floatplane, take you to mountain top vistas rounded out by ancient glaciers. The rewards are endless flowing descents through broad valleys, alpine meadows, and technical forest terrain. Pack spare parts, food, and water—you’ll sleep well after a day riding the Chilcotins.
