Arrive Early for the Big Events

The Slopestyle and Whip-Offs draw huge crowds. Get there early to grab a great viewing spot — ideally with some shade and a view of the landings.

Bag Yourself Some Free Swag

Swing through the vendor booths in Whistler Village for free swag, demo gear, and limited edition merch. Morning is usually best for scoring giveaways.

Ride First, Spectate Later

The bike park is still open during Crankworx, but it gets busy. Ride early in the day, then settle into spectating mode for the afternoon main events.

Don’t Miss the Nightlife

From DJ sets to Crankworx-themed parties, the Village comes alive after dark. Keep an eye out for pop-up events and athlete meet-and-greets.

Crankworx Whistler is one of the most electric events of the summer — and your accommodation can make or break the trip. By choosing a Harmony home with bike-friendly features, private hot tubs, and central access, you’re setting yourself up for the ultimate mountain biking vacation.
