Who in your group rides what
Whether everyone in your group gets a day at Pemberton MTB Park - the grades on offer, the named zones, and how mixed abilities split up.
IMBA colours with international signage; Relentless Blue graded blue but noted as physically demanding.
Group split: beginners ride entry-level/dual-use trails near the pool; advanced riders take Relentless Blue with its wall rides and technical climb, regrouping at Pemberton Pool.
Town-adjacent trailhead at Pemberton Pool; range from entry-level to advanced so mixed groups can pick trails, though Relentless Blue suits fitter/experienced riders.
