Billy Epic

Billy Epic is one of the original Whistler descents. After climbing high on Flank Trail riders drop down into a steady drop that winds its way down the mountain to Bob's Rebob. Parallel to it lies the impossibly difficult Jaws which is recommended for expert riders only. Billy Epic is challenging but within reach of many skilled riders.

Access:

If approaching from the North on Flank Trail (after climbing Rick's Roost) riders pass a viewpoint with a bench and shortly after cross a creek. Several minutes after this Billy Epic begins to the left, it is the second trail to branch off to the left.

If approaching from South on Flank Trail (up the section called Alp d'Huez) the trail switchbacks up the mountain. After completing the switchbacks and climbing some more Billy Epic branches off to the right. It is marked.
