The '''Whistler Mountain Bike Park''' celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2008. Having consistently grown since its inception, it sees an average of 100,000 bikers each summer.{{citation needed|date=October 2008}}

The Whistler Mountain Bike Park uses the Fitzsimmons 8 and Garbanzo quad lifts, as well as the Whistler Village [[Gondola lift|Gondola]] and Creekside Gondola to shuttle bikers to around midstation, at {{convert|1,200|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The park has 47+ trails for all skill levels totaling 250&nbsp;km + of trails. There are smooth trails with gentle banked corners for beginners, steep twisty trails for intermediates, tight trails with jumps and stunts for advanced riders, and challenging trails with giant jumps, drops, and root-strewn terrain for the experts.

During the summer, Fitzsimmons 8 and Garbanzo are used for bike hauls, with select chairs having their seats replaced with a bike rack. These racks fit four bikes, three in grooves and one on a hook on the side of the chair. The bikers then get on the next chair which is a normal passenger carrier. The Fitzsimmons chair, the most popular on the mountain, used this system until 2023. The updated Fitz chair opening December 12, 2023 updated the capacity from 2 per chair to five. The updated chair features many seats, and 4 front tire slots on the back, as well as a hook on the side for a fifth bike.

The bike park has three zones: the Fitzsimmons Zone (the lower zone), the Garbanzo Zone (the upper zone) and the Creekside Zone. All riders take either the Village [[Gondola lift|Gondola]] or Fitzsimmons 8 to the Olympic Station area. Then intermediate and advanced riders can take Garbanzo up further to the Garbanzo zone. Garbanzo riders can then return to midstation or Whistler Village, the base of the bike park. The Creekside Zone can be accessed via the Creekside Gondola or by riding through the Garbanzo Zone. From the top of Garbanzo to the village is an {{convert|1100|m|ft|abbr=on}} vertical descent; eclipsed only by the descent from the top gondola station or the top of the Peak Chair, the highest accessible point on the mountain.  "A-Line" is the most well-known track. The Boneyard Slopestyle Course is part of the Fitzsimmons Zone and is located at the very bottom of the bike park, visible from the base of Whistler Mountain. The Boneyard features a collection of high-intermediate and advanced slopestyle features, including drops, dirt jumps, and more.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}}

Each summer since 2004, the park hosts [[Crankworx]], the largest annual [[freeride (mountain biking)|freeride]] mountain biking competition in North America. Another major competition, Harvest Huckfest, was held there each fall from 2002 to 2008.
