When I first moved to the area, I was struck by how advanced the level of trails are here compared to what I’d ridden back home. The black trails especially, are a league above anything I’d ever experienced. But don’t get me wrong, with greater challenge, comes greater reward!
I had the idea to create a site that provides an ego-free guide to the trails that are worth your while so that you get max reward, spend less time walking down features you’re not ready for & more time progressing on some of the best trails in the world. It’s going to be most useful for riders looking to progress through blues into light blacks and harder blacks.
I’ve provided a more precise colour-coding system for the trail difficulty ratings because a hard black trail round here is a hell of a long way off from an easy blue. We’ve all found ourselves staring down a trail at some point wondering what the hell we’re doing there, having trusted the online rating.
You’ll also find suggested loops in each trail network , a brief description of individual trails, plus how to access them & some tips on how to ride certain sections better.
Please feel free to leave me a message at the bottom of this page with feedback about what you’d like to see more of!

Diamondhead Trails & Alice Lake
No longer just a pitstop on the way to Whistler, Squamish has become a biking destination in its own right. There are several different areas to choose from, with Diamondhead & Alice Lake being most popular. It’s possible to ride in Squamish for the majority of the year, so bikers can almost always get their fix.
