Description

Added by John Entwistle

The furthest trail from Whistler Village that is part of the Whistler trail network, this trail truly is "Out There". A steep technical decent with a climb either up the Wedgemount Logging Road or Up the initial part of Comfortably Numb.

The most direct route is to start at the Wedgemount trail head parking lot and ride up the Logging road to approximately the 4.5 KM mark.

The trail starts out smooth and flowy through some old forest. Lots of great corners and no particularly technical sections. The trail then takes a complete change of pace and begins to introduce several steep rock rolls. The second half of the trail plays through some very unique terrain, utilizing the existing rocks and logs to create some exciting off-camber corners and steep technical sections.

The trail spits you out right back to the trailhead

Mt. Currie Trail

Mt Currie is the giant mountain that sits above the village of Pemberton BC. It soars 7800 vertical feet from the valley floor to the summit in sheer cliffs. (The mountain itself is 8517ft high.)
