    Whistler Blackcomb

Short technical trail in the Fitzsimmons area of the Bike Park. Rated between Wednesday Night Delight and Lower Angry Pirate on Whistler's trail progression chart - about half way through the blue technical trails.

Access Info

The start is off Lower A-Line (black freeride trail), but the lower half of Hornet can be accessed from Lower EZ Does It, making for a more interesting section on the way to the village.
