Dirt Merchant
Step up from A-Line. Bigger jumps, more commitment. The progression trail for riders ready to send it.
Trail beta
Access off EZ Does It just west (right) as you exit the Fitzsimmons Express lift. Same lift as A-Line. Downhill-only, double-black: expert machine-built jump trail with tables, step-ups, 3-5 ft drops, a big hip near the end, and a pro-line with gap jumps, hips, and big drops added in 2018. Scope every major feature before committing. The gaps punish hesitation. At the creek section near the bottom there are three lines: left ride-around, center moderate gap, right big gap. Don't try Dirt Merchant your first Whistler day. Do A-Line clean first.
When to go
Whistler Bike Park jump trail in the Fitzsimmons Zone, typically open from opening day (mid-May) through mid-October. Valley-floor elevation means it's rarely delayed by snow. One of the signature trails that locals and visitors line up for on opening week. Bike park ticket required.

Lift-served from Fitz zone.
