About the Program
All listed prices for DFX SUMMER Club Programs include a full season pass to access the Whistler Mountain Bike Park. All DFX SUMMER program passes include unlimited daily lift access outside of the program dates as well (for when you want to ride with your child on non-program days!), and the option to purchase additional lesson days at a special rate.
A season pass is NOT included for spring and fall programs.
MINI SHREDDERS – a season pass is included in the 2 days week Spring program, and all summer programs. Please note children have to be aged 5+ to access the bike park when not in lessons.
We recommend that you use a summer pass as this will allow your child to get discounts at stores and restaurants. You can get a new summer graphic or you can use your pass from last year.
Their winter pass can also be used as all summer media will be added onto all passes, but unfortunately winter passes are not recognized for discounts but will work at the lift.
We recommend that you check your pass at Guest Relations before heading into the park on the first day.
If you have questions about which pass to use please go into Guest Relations or call the Reservation Centre on 1-800-766-0449.
