Start your Whistler Bike Park day off by warming up on some mellower trails before dropping into the more gnarly trails the park has to offer.

Crank It Up uses the mountain's topography extremely well. It will give you a chance to figure out the speed the park offers and the braking techniques you'll need throughout the day.

Your second lap consists of some of the park's best corners, found on Ninja Cougar and flowing trail sections on Karate Monkey and Ho Chi Min.

Trail Ho Chi Min
Really fun, narrow flow which will force you to practice tight awkward turns.

Awesome jump trail. Jumps are a bit bigger and you gotta pump a bit more to clear them but everything is rollable and has a table top; no gaps. Fun for all skill levels and you'll have a blast even if you case everything! Highly recommended.

Bigger jumps than I had expected. If Crank it up push’s you’re boundaries I’d stay off this one.

This was updated this year to flow through the section that normal hosts the Joy Ride comp jumps. It’s super glory and fun with great step ups, rollers and table tops. So fun!

Perfect trail for learning DH riding. I believe the W/B website has a trail progression list for riding the park.

Im from the midwest and will be starting on this trail to get a feel for the DH riding that I dony have here. Even though i been riding for 20 years its a good idea not to jumo on a black before testing the ground.

A nice balance between tech and flow. Plenty for a dad to enjoy with shredder kids.

Rained a bunch yesterday, but was perfect by midday. Closed in the afternoon, unclear why. Maybe for a crash earlier?

Like Easy Does It upper, I gave this trail 5-stars for what it is. A beginner trail that is excellent for introducing new riders to the park, a great way for them to build confidence.
