FAQ

Q: How do you pick the groups that people ride in?

We pick the groups based on ability level and if you want to ride with your friends. We want to make sure the groups are all at a similar ability level so no one is pushed beyond their comfort zone.

Q: Do I need to bring my bike?

You’re welcome to bring your own bike provided it will hold up to the demands of the Whistler Bike Park. Disc brakes are mandatory in the Whistler Bike Park.
We strongly recommend:
– DH bikes 
– Minimum 160mm travel
– DH casing tires

Q: Can we ride after the scheduled hours of camp?

Our day of riding starts at 10am and ends at 4pm. After 4pm, campers are no longer under our supervision.  

Q: Can we go the front of the lift-line if the lines are long to board the chair lift?

Yes! At SGC we have lift-line priority, which means when the lines are long it does not effect us. This means more laps!

Rides very aggressively and is comfortable biking over anything; logs, rocks, roots, steps, and drops at most speeds. Very physically fit. Likes to take air and do tricks. Looking to refine your riding and learn more tricks from the masters.
