I am not a regular rider, but I would like to ride more.

I can ride on easy, flat terrain for up to an hour at a casual pace, with intermittent breaks. 

I am not sure I enjoy climbing hills…yet.

​

One of our "Intro To Mountain Biking" courses or a private lesson might be the perfect option for you!

I am just getting started and looking to gain an understanding of the base fundamentals to help me feel more confident and in control to tackle “off-road” trails in Squamish and the surrounding area.

​

You are comfortable riding: Valley Trail, Loggers Lane Trails, Ray Peters Pathway.

I can ride for 1-2 hours on flat, smooth terrain at a casual pace. 

I find climbing challenging and a bit daunting and need lots of breaks, but think I would like to improve so I can access a wider variety of terrain.

​

Climbing small, short hills is challenging but sometimes manageable.

I am aware of my controls and starting to explore beyond smooth pathways.  I am comfortable on some 'green' rated terrain, and learning how to change gears, brake without skidding and maintain balance on mellow climbs and descents at slower speeds.  I can stand up on my pedals, but loose confidence when things bumpy or more technical.  I would like to gain the skills necessary to explore more 'green' rated terrain with confidence and have my sights set on gaining the skills to begin to tackle 'blue' rated terrain.

​

You are comfortable riding:  Ray Peters zone, Into the Looking Glass, Glen’s Carwash, Jack's Trail.

I can pedal consistently on flat or low-grade trails for 2-3 hours. 

Climbing small, short hills is challenging but manageable.  I like lots of breaks along the way, and find technical climbing very challenging. 

​

I am still learning to appreciate climbing, but would like to improve so I can access a wider variety of terrain.  

I can sustain 5-10 minutes of continuous climbing on smooth surfaces and can pedal to 'Rob's Corners' at a relaxed pace and with lots of breaks.

I am discovering new skills and working on consolidating my confidence with fundamentals on a mixed variety of 'green' rated terrain.  I can change gears and brake effectively on low-gradient single track, and maintain balance on climbs and descents at slower speeds and don't mind rolling over smaller roots and rocks.  I am interested in gaining the skills to explore more 'blue' rated terrain with confidence.

​

​

You are comfortable riding:  Ray Peters zone, Wonderland, Jack's Trail, Into the Looking Glass, Glen’s Carwash, Rob's and Cliff's Corners, and parts of White Rabbit and Roller Coaster.

I can pedal at a moderate pace for up to 3 hours, with limited breaks on a variety of pitches and have good fitness. 

While I am still working on building my stamina, I appreciate that climbing gets me to some amazing trails and I can sustain 15-20 minutes of continuous climbing.  

I can pedal up to the top of 'Half Nelson' efficiently with some breaks.

I am comfortable on all 'green' rated trails and most flowy 'blue' rated trails.

I have consolidated many fundamental skills on 'simple terrain', have good balance and terrain awareness at a moderate pace,  and I can stop or slow down without skidding in a variety of conditions.

I have success with getting my front wheel up and over obstacles and some basic front wheel lifts and am starting to ‘Get Air’ and explore more advanced technical features and terrain.

​

​

You are comfortable riding:  Roller Coaster, Lumber Jacks, Half Nelson, Fool's Gold, Mikki's Magic, Pseudo-Tsuga, Recycle, Man Boobs.

I can pedal at a moderate to medium pace for up to 4 hours, with short breaks every hour or so on a variety of pitches and have above average fitness. 

I love exercise and look forward to logging 'miles on my bike' so I can get to my favorite trails in one ride!

​

I can pedal to 'Half Nelson' without stopping and then tide back up to 'Pseudo-Tsuga' for a fun lap to finish my ride.  I can do a 'Leave of Absence' and a 'Rupert' lap in one ride with minimal breaks.

I have mastered and can ride playfully on all 'Green' and 'Blue' rated trails and ride with a solid fundamental skill-set.  I have begun exploring 'Black' rated terrain.   I can brake safely and effectively and can maintain balance on climbs and descents at a variety of speeds, and in varying conditions.  I have mastered basic wheel lifts and am comfortable on small to medium jumps and small drops, rock-rolls and rock slabs.  I am interested in gaining the skills to tackle more 'black' rated terrain with greater confidence.

You are comfortable riding:  Leave of Absence, Rupert, Angry Midget, Crouching Tiger, Kiki, Ditch Pig, Mad Hatter, Room With A View, Slippery Salmon.

I can comfortably pedal multiple laps on the 'Diamond Head' or 'Alice Lake' trail networks with the odd break, and can ride for up to 6 hours in a day. 

​

I enjoy high-intensity physical activity and can sustain technical climbs and endure about 1-2 hours of effort in between breaks.   

​

I can climb to 'Angry Midget' at a reasonably swift pace, and often choose to ride from home to my favorite trails, to log those extra KMs... A 1,000m or 30km day does not phase me.

 I am comfortable on almost all 'black' rated terrain and am playful on my bike in a wide variety of situations and terrain.  

 I am working on refining an established skill-set.  I am comfortable on medium to large table-top jumps, small gap jumps, medium drops, longer rock slabs, and other technical terrain.  I know how to brake strategically at higher speeds and on steeper/more complex terrain.  I am interested in further improving and refining my technique and exploring some 'double-black' rated terrain.

You are comfortable riding:  Somewhere Over There, Rupert, Credit Line, Boney Elbows, Icy Hole Of Death, Value Added, Hot Tuna,

A-Line, Fade To Black, Schleyer.

I can pedal from sun-up to sun-down, and ride my bike almost every day!

​

1500m/50km days or Enduro World Series size days aren’t a problem for me...In fact I may have even raced at this level.

I have a massive capacity for high-intensity and/or a large volume of riding and can easily ride for 6 hours in a day, taking breaks only every hour or so.

​

Doing a long accent like 'Into The Mystic/Lord Of The Squirrels' loop (from the valley bottom) in Whistler is my idea of fun!

I am comfortable on all features on all 'black' rated terrain and ride all trails with confidence and finesse.  Large trail features and gap-jumps, drops and long or chunky rock-slabs are everyday things for me.  I am working on further refining my skill-sets, gaining experience and exploring different ways to approach features (scrubbing versus popping jumps for example) on 'double-black' rated terrain.

You are comfortable riding:  Riggs In Zen, Larvicide, Grin and Holler, Pleasure Trail, Dirt Merchant, Crab Apple Hits etc.
