 Stage 1
Top of the World -> Ride Dont Slide
Distance: 7.3km
Vetical Drop : 1298m

Stage 1 launches from the Top of the World. This trail is a mind-blowing experience, taking the Whistler Mountain Bike Parks famous flow and
adding the ultimate view of the Coastal Mountain Range. Set against a backdrop of granite spires, riders will roll out from Whistlers Peak Chair,
battling the ultimate feeling of exposure to play among the berms and switchbacks of this rocky, single-track icon. This stage is to the SRAM
Canadian Open Enduro presented by Specialized what peanut butter is to honey, so it has been given the ultimate salute for 2017 as the race
opener.

Top of the World then leads into Ride Dont Slide, a throwback to 2014s Crankzilla. Whistler trail-building masters, Gravity Logic, have done
extensive remedial work on the trail since its last appearance, adding more sustainable bench-cut reroutes to the fall-line sections. While
certainly more accessible, improvement doesnt mean easy. This is still a double-black with sustained steeps, lots of roots, rocks and plenty of
natural features.

Stage 2
A Rockwork Orange -> Korova Milk Bar -> Wizard Burial Ground
Distance: 1.7km
Vetical Drop : 288m

Rock slabs galore greet racers on stage two where Rockwork Orange will challenge your ability to roll with the punches as you weave through
the trees on slab after slab to another fantastic ribbon of dirt and rock: Korova Milk Bar. This section opens up into some stunning views of the
valley below, but leads to some steep, tight and technical Westside gnar on Wizard Burial Ground. All in all, this is Whistler riding at its finest.

Stage 3
Billys Epic -> Bobs Rebob
Distance: 1.75km
Vetical Drop : 341m

Billys Epic is an excellent, old-school descent off the Flank Trail. The trail features outstanding views and great technical riding over rocks and
roots. As you descend, take a moment to think about the riders of the mid-90s taking this pounding with two inches of front suspension, and
steep head tubes. Then get ready for a bit of a break with a mixture of old logging roads and single-track on Bobs Rebob, which throws in the
odd root and rock, but otherwise offers a moment of rare, breezy respite.

Stage 4
Howler
Distance: 3.2km
Vetical Drop : 651m

This big, sweaty access road-climb leads to a long, technical, flowy descent. Expect to open it up, but stay on your toes as its pinch of technical
requires one to stay sharp. There are no major features, drops, or jumps, to catch you off guard, but bring a spare tube. Those little snags are
deadly.

Stage 5
No Joke -> Drop in Clinic -> Duffman -> Mackenzie River -> Duffman - Samurai Pizza Cat -> Afternoon Delight -> Longhorn -> Monkey
Hands
Distance: 4.4km
Vetical Drop : 619m

The name pretty well says it all on No Joke, and pretty well characterizes this entire stage of bike park trail. Expect to wrap up your race with a
technical workout of roots, rocks and natural drops. Dont miss the near vertical rock-drop on Drop in Clinic, then get your speed up for Duff-
man, Samurai Pizza Cat, Afternoon Delight and so forth. Finish your race whipping through twisty, rocky, rooting single-trackpunchy to the
end.
