At the end of July 2018, BHA, its fellow sponsors and WORCA (Whistler Off Road Cycling Association) were hosting the 13th Annual Tour de Trash, one of Whistler’s local longest running mountain bike race.  With a new course (See Trailforks Here) and almost 15o riders participating, this year’s event was a great success.  Inspired by Whistler AWARE Zero Waste Event and following BHA’s vision for sustainability, this year’s Après was also a ZERO WASTE event, with 100% of the waste being composted or recycled, we were happy to have planned and hosted a big event with a small footprint!

The Toonie Races are a Whistler classic, bringing together local riders for a exciting evening of challenging bike riding and fun social time.  With the profit of the event going back to WORCA to support trail maintenance, the entire BHA team was proud to be out there volunteering for the day.  Good job everyone and congrats to all the riders who completed the course!

One of BHA’s long standing clients, Whistler TAG – The Adventure Group, is innovating this season with a brand new multimedia nature walk; Vallea Lumina.  Located at Cougar Mountain, just north of Whistler Village, the facility will be open to the public at the end of July 2018.  BHA was part of the process from day one, taking part on the land use planning of the site and the application process for the 1.5km trail.  The facility is staging from TAG base area and is meandering through a beautiful forested area.  Vallea Lumina will be a first in the area,  as a pioneer of this new type of adventure suitable for all ages, TAG Whistler is pursuing a family oriented vision for its all-season attraction.   The Multimedia, light, sound and special effect technology has been implemented on the site by the Montreal-based company, Moment Factory.
