The Forte distance is a different kind of commitment. The Whistler Gran Fondo Forte Artifact – Medal Edition is a large format display designed specifically for riders who took on the full challenge of the RBC GranFondo Whistler Forte route. This edition preserves the complete ride in physical form. From the opening climb up Cypress to the long stretch along the Sea to Sky Highway and the final push into Whistler Village, the entire route is captured in sculpted terrain. At the center is a 7.5 inch 3D terrain artifact recreating the mountains of the Sea to Sky corridor with the official Forte route precisely traced across it. This piece is mounted inside a 20 inch deep set gallery frame, giving the terrain and medal space to breathe while turning the ride into a true display piece rather than something stored away. Unlike the standard custom artifacts, this version is built specifically for the Whistler Gran Fondo Forte course.
