Course Descriptions

The Intermediate Course:

First Climb - Riders will start in the village centre, and make their way up porcupine road to rhonda lake road. From there, riders will tackle the ever-so-steep rhonda lake road to the top of Squirts Trail, and the start of Stage 1.

Stage 1: Squirts - Stacked - Shark Tub - Mop Up. Riders will descend Squirts into Stacked Deck, and race down brown shack road and into Shark Fin Soup, and finish the stage on Mop Up.

Second Climb - After finishing stage 1 on Mop Up, riders will take the Bullet Chairlift to the top of the bike park, and descend pry bar to the Nessy/Bermslang Hub.

Stage 2: Bermslang - Home Run. Racing down the twisty berm-laced back of the mighty green snake it's named after, riders will continue over brown shack road, into home run, and finish this stage on some of the most underrated corners in the bike park.

Third Climb - Riders will descend from the bottom of Stage 2 to the bottom of the Bullet Chairlift. Riders will then take bumblebee road to the top of Lightning Strike, the final stage in our intermediate course.

Stage 3: Lightning Strike to Water Treatment. This is our BC Cup Novice and Adaptive MTB track. A breathtaking mix of pedalling power and pace.

This is the end of the intermediate course. Intermediate course riders can finish their day here, and get a few extra laps in the park before the awards ceremony.

The Expert Course:

Fourth Climb - In addition to the same 3 stages from the intermediate course, Expert course riders will proceed from water treatment across the Moguls Track ski run and down onto Summer Road. From Summer road, riders will start the grueling climb up Old Bumblebee and Pipeline into the Paul's Lake area. They continue up the Rocket Access Road to the top of the Rocket Chair, then finish the climb to the top of Bullet Chair up the Bumblebee Road.

Stage 4: Hubba Bubba - Black Slabbath. A truly nasty punch climb awaits riders 30 seconds in to this stage. Climbing up Hubba Bubba to the top of the Knoll, riders can let it fly down Black Slabbath knowing gravity is on their side for the rest of the stage.

Fifth Climb - The final climb back to the top of Bullet. From the bottom of Black Slabbath, riders will ride their bikes up Rhonda Lake Road to the bottom of the Cliff Chair. From here riders will hike their bikes up the short but beautiful Rhonda Lake Circuit trail in the heart of the Parachute Bowl.

Stage 5: Catapult Ranch. No bike race at Bike Big White would be complete without testing your mettle with the fastest top to bottom time in our bike park.
