📚MEET THE FACULTY📚
Whistler Adventure School

Let’s meet Dan Raymond.
Dan has been a professional trail builder since 2011. As Lead Trail Build for WORCA (Whistler Off-Road Cycling Association) his crew has been the magic behind maintaining many of Whistler’s biking trails. If you’ve been riding in Whistler, you may be familiar with Lord of the Squirrels, Chipmunk Rebellion, Dessert Platter, Robin Yer Eggs, and Yummier Numby biking trails. Just some of his work!

ABOUT THE COURSE
Most classes in this course run in the field. You learn everything from lying the layout, picking where the trail goes, getting it approved to construction and bench cutting. In the more advanced areas, you start to learn building bridges and rock work. Another important concept taught in this course is the maintaining of the trail network.
Students will learn about the administrative and legislative elements that are required in order to undertake mountain bike trail construction, maintenance and conservation. In class, students will help local organizations with trail management and will coordinate volunteer groups for the development and maintenance of local mountain bike trails.
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to demonstrate construction techniques and methods used to create and repair sections of all trail types as well as carry out risk assessment and trail side maintenance.
