Whistler is our home base and, understandably, among our favorite places to ride and teach.

Not only is it wonderful to know an area inside and out, but it’s fantastic to have so much to know. Between the world-renowned mountain bike park, technically demanding valley terrain, long cross-country epics, and the same trails many of us learned on ourselves, Whistler has it dialed.

All of our Whistler camps allow each participant to select their specific riding focus. You can choose to spend all your time in the Park, decide to check out the trails in the Valley, or split your weekend between the two and experience them both.

Thanks to a new partnership with Whistler Blackcomb, all Dirt Series
participants now get two camp-specific bike park tickets included with their registration.

Whistler Blackcomb has also committed to building new skill parks up at mid-station, so between those and our traditional Dirt Series supplies, we’ll have access to more stunts, structures, and general teaching environments than ever before.

Whatever your level, whatever your bike, whatever your interest, and whatever you want to learn, you can do it, and put it into immediate practice, here.
