Embark on an epic 2-day heli-accessed mountain biking adventure in BC’s Coast Mountains. Experience the thrill of riding the world’s longest granite slabs, complemented by a sauna, gourmet meals, and stunning mountain vistas. Begin with a scenic flight from Squamish to our luxurious base camp at 5,900 feet. Designed for those seeking to hone their rock slab skills, each day of this tour involves exhilarating terrain, including technical descents and breathtaking ridge views. Enjoy expert guidance, delicious meals by a professional chef, and a night in premium domes. It’s the ultimate blend of adrenaline, natural beauty, and comfort in a remote wilderness setting.

Day 1: Heli transfer to base camp and first descent

MTBer near a small lake in BC’s Coast Mountains.

We meet our pilot and trip manager at the heli-pad in Whistler, Sechelt, Campbell River, or Powell River for the flight up to base camp, where the guide team and chef are waiting. After a safety debrief, a short hike-a-bike climbs to the summit above camp for sweeping views, then a heart-pounding descent drops us to the alpine tarn beside camp. From there, a ridge to the west opens onto a traverse or loop, chosen by ability: a 5km run south toward Lockie’s Table with views over Powell Lake and the Georgia Strait, or a longer slab descent reached via a higher ridgeline traverse and a second hike-a-bike. We finish with a dip in glacial water, a sauna, and a three-course fireside meal under the stars.

Meals: Dinner
Accommodation: Premium alpine domes with cozy cots and stoves

Day 2: The longest granite slab descent on the coast

After an early breakfast and packed lunches, we climb via a long traverse to a shelf high above camp before dropping into one of the longest known rock slab descents in the world. The line runs off either a final summit or a quicker, steeper exit into a bowl of granite shelves, then flows down endless sheets of granite, with narrow ledges linking each open slab before we reach the treeline and our lower heli pickup point. From here, riders can fly back to Whistler, Sechelt, Comox Valley, or Powell River, or continue on to an optional day at Coast Gravity Park, with lodging along the lower Sunshine Coast. Those staying at camp instead follow a long, feature-packed descent to the lowest tarn for a lunch break, then climb back up for an afternoon exploring more of the ridge’s lines before returning to camp.

Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch
Accommodation: Included only if you select the extra day at Coast Gravity Park, otherwise not

Optional Day 3: Extra Day at Coast Gravity Park (available for an added fee*)

For those extending the trip, we head to Coast Gravity Park on the Sunshine Coast, a shuttle-accessed bike park built by local riders with trails ranging from flowy berms to big jumps. A truck tows us and our bikes up for lap after lap, so we can dial in as much or as little air time as we like across the park’s mix of terrain. It’s a lower-key, low-elevation counterpoint to the alpine descents of the previous two days, with a relaxed, community vibe rather than resort crowds. We spend the day riding at our own pace before heading to comfortable lodging nearby, complete with a spa, sauna, and excellent seafood. The following morning, we make our way back to Whistler via ferry through Horseshoe Bay, or return toward Powell River or Vancouver Island.

Embark on an epic 3-day heli-accessed mountain biking adventure in BC’s Coast Mountains. Experience the thrill of riding the world’s longest granite slabs, complemented by a sauna, gourmet meals, and stunning mountain vistas. Begin with a scenic flight from Squamish to our luxurious base camp at 5,900 feet. Designed for those seeking to hone their rock slab skills, each day of this tour involves exhilarating terrain, including technical descents and breathtaking ridge views. Enjoy expert guidance, delicious meals by a professional chef, and nights in premium domes. It’s the ultimate blend of adrenaline, natural beauty, and comfort in a remote wilderness setting.

Day 1: Heli transfer to a summit start and first descent

We meet our pilot and trip manager at the heli-pad in Whistler, Sechelt, Campbell River, or Powell River for the flight up to base camp. With three days of riding ahead and a well-vetted group, we start with a bang: our guide and camp manager meet us at the summit of the northeastern ridgeline, home to over 10km of steep granite terrain and its own natural heli pad. From there, we descend steep, technical slabs down to a sub-alpine bench of shaded trees, then follow a lower rock traverse below the ridge to a final climbing line and our first views of camp. This ascent tests even fresh legs, often tackled with pedal assist or on foot, but the views make it worth it. We finish with a dip in glacial water, a sauna, and a three-course fireside meal.

Meals: Dinner
Accommodation: Premium alpine domes with cozy cots and stoves

Day 2: Ridgeline views and a choice of descents

After an early breakfast and packed lunches, we climb quickly above camp to a col and ridgeline that draws us in with views across the Coast Mountains, including Mount Waddington. From here, we choose our line: a descent back to camp across a series of technical granite slabs, or a longer traverse across to the South ridge and a larger glacial tarn for a second big day out.

Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch, dinner
Accommodation: Premium alpine domes with cozy cots and stoves

Day 3: The longest descent and heli exit

MTBer navigating near-vertical slab terrain in BC’s Coast Mountains.

Leaving this granite playground is never easy, and with season after season of terrain still unexplored, our final morning stays flexible, with some riders hunting down technical features and photo opportunities or working on bike control before we go. Our last descent runs down the West-most ridge, off either a final summit or a quicker, steeper line into a bottomless bowl of granite shelves, then flows down endless seas of granite, with narrow ledges linking the group back together for improbable moves onto the next open slab. Once we reach the treeline below a wall of cliffs, our heli pickup wraps up the adventure. From here, we fly back to Whistler, Sechelt, Comox Valley, or Powell River, or continue on to an optional fourth day at Coast Gravity Park, with lodging available along the lower Sunshine Coast.

Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch
Accommodation: Included only if you select the extra day at Coast Gravity Park, otherwise not

Optional Day 4: Extra Day at Coast Gravity Park (available for an added fee*)

*For more details, see the “Things to Know” section under “Can I extend my trip?”

Embark on an epic 4-day heli-accessed mountain biking adventure in BC’s Coast Mountains. Experience the thrill of riding the world’s longest granite slabs, complemented by a sauna, gourmet meals, and stunning mountain vistas. Begin with a scenic flight from Squamish to our luxurious base camp at 5,900 feet. Designed for those seeking to hone their rock slab skills, each day of this tour involves exhilarating terrain, including technical descents and breathtaking ridge views. Enjoy expert guidance, delicious meals by a professional chef, and nights in premium domes. It’s the ultimate blend of adrenaline, natural beauty, and comfort in a remote wilderness setting.

Day 1: Choice of two ridgeline descents into camp

We meet our pilot and trip manager at the heli-pad in Whistler, Campbell River, or Powell River for the flight up to base camp. With five days of riding ahead and a well-vetted group, we offer two distinct options to kick things off. The first heads to the Northeastern ridgeline, home to over 10km of steep granite terrain and its own natural heli pad: after an orientation and safety debrief, we descend steep, technical slabs 800 meters down to a sub-alpine bench of shaded trees, then follow a lower traverse and a final climbing line up into camp. The second option takes us to a new South ridge, the only point on the trip with views of the Georgia Strait and Vancouver Island, descending over 1,000 meters of knife-edge granite before a traverse below a moraine to the glaciated tarn beside camp. Either way, we finish with a dip in glacial water, a sauna, and a three-course fireside meal.

Meals: Dinner
Accommodation: Premium alpine domes with cozy cots and stoves

Day 2: Ridgeline views above camp and a choice of terrain

After an early breakfast and packed lunches, we climb quickly above camp to a col and ridgeline with views across the Coast Mountains, including Mount Waddington. Once oriented to the terrain, we choose our line: a descent back to camp across a series of technical slabs, or a longer loop around base camp’s tarn, clockwise or counterclockwise, to unlock more granite terrain on the way to the final Western ridge descent or a nearer loop through some of the tenure’s most sought-after features.

Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch, dinner
Accommodation: Premium alpine domes with cozy cots and stoves

Day 3: A flexible day of feature hunting or fresh terrain

For riders looking to cover as much ground as possible, the distant ridgeline skipped on day one is on the table today, with a steep climb and long traverse to start the morning early. For most, though, day three becomes a recovery or flex day shaped by the previous day’s choices: some hunt down technical features, chase photo opportunities, or work on bike control in the granite playground around camp, while others tackle a big pedaling day on the South ridge or Northeastern ridgeline, complete with descents that loop back to camp. Riders looking to save energy for the final day can instead explore closer to camp at an easier pace.

Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch, dinner
Accommodation: Premium alpine domes with cozy cots and stoves

Day 4: The longest descent and heli exit

MTBers looking at interesting rock formations in the Coast Mountains, while on their heli-accessed MTB trip.

Leaving this granite playground is never easy, and with season after season of terrain still unexplored, it’s a tough one to say goodbye to. Our final descent runs down the West-most ridge, off either a final summit or a quicker, steeper line into a bottomless bowl of granite shelves, then flows down endless seas of granite, with narrow ledges linking the group back together for improbable moves onto the next open slab. Once we reach the treeline below a wall of cliffs, our heli pickup wraps up the adventure. From here, we fly back to Whistler, Sechelt, Comox Valley, or Powell River, or continue on to an optional fifth day at Coast Gravity Park, with lodging available along the lower Sunshine Coast.

Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch
Accommodation: Included only if you select the extra day at Coast Gravity Park, otherwise not

Optional Day 5: Extra Day at Coast Gravity Park (available for an added fee*)

What others say about this adventure

5.00 (4 reviews)

Darren Berrecloth

This riding area has one of the most surreal landscapes I have visited on the planet. It’s crazy to think that this terrain has always been so close to my home and yet I had no idea it existed. In mountain biking, we crave the wide-open landscapes just as much as we crave a tight, single track. Traditionally, rock slabs were short, intermittent sections that gave us thrills, however, what we found was huge, steep slabs with endless traction to push our boundaries. In this region, the possibilities are endless, as the entire area is nothing but granite slabs, eroded smoothly by the earth’s last glacial era, creating one of the most stunning landscapes to take a bike and explore BC’s raw backcountry…

Robin Munshaw

Riding in this area is a limitless exploration of what a bike and rider can do. The views, the location, the terrain – it’s a singular experience found nowhere else on earth. Ian sets a new precedent for what a guided backcountry experience can be.

Thomas Burden

Granite slabs as far as the eye can see. Mountain biking’s most comparable thing to the best day of powder skiing. Infinite line choices on massive terrain.
