Mountain Biking Tours and Coaching

Our goal is to see that you ride Squamish’s best and most scenic mountain bike trails all at the level that suits your ride style. Squamish is where the Coastal Mtns meets the Pacific Ocean, so plan on a day of riding along glacier fed rivers, towering snow capped mountains and through the greenest forests you have even seen.

Squamish is known as the “Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada” for many reasons, to us the most important reason is because of our amazing variety and sheer number of mountain bike trails; from smooth well groomed valley trails to dreamy single track, to challenging technical descents and big climbs, Squamish has it all and without the crowds or the hype. Your focus is the ride, the fresh air, taking in the scenery, our focus is to see that you get the ride you want.
