May 22, 2010

Few places can rival what Whistler has in store for mountain bikers this season. And after much demand, the Whistler Mountain Bike Park is excited to be bringing back the Crud 2 Mud Downhill on May 22, 2010.
In teams or individually, Crud 2 Mud competitors ski or snowboard from the top of Whistler Mountain to the bottom of the snow line, where their bikes and equipment lay waiting. Once they’ve struggled out of their boots and are clipped into their bike pedals, participants race through the Whistler Mountain Bike Park on a yet to be determined trail.
"The Crud 2 Mud is the only race that solves the spring-time dilemma of making the choice to ride or ski - it allows you to do both", exclaims Rob McSkimming, Whistler Blackcomb VP Business Development. "So many people in Whistler are accomplished at both sports why not try to determine who is best?"
