On another note, Whistler Blackcomb is in need of your help. Because their tenure is dependent on their relationship with the Province, they are required to be in control of all new trail development within their tenure. This tenure includes the area abutting all subdivisions on the east side of the valley; Blackcomb Benchlands (right through to bottom Yummy Numby), Brio, Nordic, Creekside, Bayshores, and Spring Creek to the ridge that drops into Cheakamus. Non Whistler Bike park trails within the tenure include Babylons, Tunnel Vision, second half of Business Time, Hey Bud, Crazy Train and Microclimate. Please refrain from accessing any areas not mentioned here. Failure to do so can limit any future trail development in these areas.
