Whistler's Most Beautiful Trail is One That Everyone Skips | Pot of Gold

At the top of Sproatt Mountain, after a brutal 1000-meter climb, every rider faces a choice. Turn right for the instant gratification of the world-famous 'Lord of the Squirrels,' or turn left... and keep climbing. This is the story of turning left. The vast majority of riders skip the physically demanding ‘With a Twist’, 'Pot of Gold' and 'Ninja Lakes Loop,' but they're missing out on what might be the most beautiful and rewarding trails in all of Whistler Valley. This is the path less traveled, a journey through a raw alpine landscape of stunning lakes, technical granite, and unforgettable views. These are the extra miles that stay with you for years to come. ► CHAPTERS 0:00 - Intro 0:45 - The Path Less Traveled: Turning Left Onto 'With a Twist' 6:19 - The Reward for Sweat: Pot of Gold 19:06 - The Stunning Ninja Lakes Loop 26:11 - Stunning Descent Over Rainbow Lake 30:02 - Grinding Back Through Alpine Meadows 36:02 - Reflections ► RIDE INFO Location: Sproatt Alpine, Whistler, BC, Canada Trails Ridden: • With a Twist • Pot of Gold • Ninja Lakes Loop Bike: Santa Cruz Megatower (2019) Camera: GoPro Hero 9 Black ► ABOUT Vorstellung is my journey into the unknown.
