Traditionally, the time of year between peak seasons in a resort town brings to mind unfavorable weather, closed businesses and maybe even some tumbleweed blowing through the main street.

Whistler, BC, however, has a secret—the shoulder season here is prime time for mountain biking. Summer in Whistler comes to an end with a bang as thousands of people watch the Red Bull Joyride slopestyle contest from the base of the bike park. The competition brings ten days of events, races and festive chaos to a close at the end of August.
