Whistler Blackcomb’s VP of Business Development Rob McSkimming said:
"The opportunity to join forces with GT, a brand that has such deep roots in the mountain bike community, is an honour. GT’s reputation as a race and freeride-driven organization will bring new energy to the Bike Park allowing our guests to hit the trails on the best bikes possible. We are stoked to roll out this season’s line up which consists of the Fury as the DH sled and the Sanction as the All-Mountain/Enduro option."
The GT fleet is equipped with Spank’s Vibrocore bars, Spank stems, special edition seat posts, and Spike and Oozy platform pedals.
