June is an exciting month in Whistler! As we transition into summer and the ski lifts stop spinning, skis are stored away and the bikes come out to play. Whistler in summer isn’t just about biking though, there’s a whole host of great activities to be enjoyed for anyone visiting Whistler. Some people even say Whistler is a better place to visit in the summer than the winter! Sacrilege in my humble view, but to each their own…
LET ME EXPLORE WHISTLER LODGING OPTIONS
Whistler Bike Park
The Whistler Mountain Bike Park, renowned for its extensive lift-accessed trail network, is set to open for the 2025 season on May 16. The park features four distinct zones—Fitzsimmons, Garbanzo, Creekside, and Peak—offering a diverse range of trails suitable for all skill levels. Recent enhancements include the upgraded Fitzsimmons Express chairlift, now equipped with a new rack system that allows up to five riders and bikes per chair, improving efficiency and reducing wait times. Additionally, the Creekside Zone has expanded, providing riders with access to nearly 40 additional trails, including new blue technical trails that have received positive feedback from the biking community. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, the Whistler Bike Park continues to offer an unparalleled mountain biking experience in 2025.!
Whistler Free Outdoor Concerts
Once again, the Whistler Concert Series is back for another summer of free outdoor concerts. The concerts run every Thursday and Friday in July and August at Whistler Olympic Plaza, with a diverse range of Canadian and International performers. Bring a blanket and a picnic dinner or get take-out from a local Whistler restaurant, and enjoy music under the stars with snow-capped mountains as a backdrop.
