I can do blacks, but I wanted to reach the next level and improve my mogul handling technique. I was blown away in the first day, it is much more than just mogul skiing, in order to ski well moguls you need to also improve your ski in general (quick turns, body position, etc) and I got exactly this, good tips that can be applied in general skiing too which I think improved my ski much more. The coaches are great, I did 2 days in a row with John and Clay and I liked the different perspectives and tips from them. If you're interested in air/jumps/park they are working on that with you too, I didn't do to much jumping myself, but they have top of the line coaches in jumps too. I think the differentiating factor of this training is the quality of the coaches, they are ex and current professional ski athletes which changes the gears completely compared with a normal ski lesson from the resort. One thing to keep in mind, in order to get the benefits from the training you need to be advanced or expert skier, level 5 or 6 according to Whistler Blackcomb ski ability levels, otherwise you'll struggle and it will not be that fun in my opinion.

A must see! From downtown Burrard, we got onto a shuttle bus with Whistler rides for roughly £25 each return ...approx 2 hour journey. Times can be arranged via the schedule offered. Breathtaking views throughout the journey there and the views from the mountains on this very famous ski resort leave you in awe. A must see!

It is the longest ski trail from top to bottom. You can get to the top via one of 2 gondolas (one starting at Creekside Village known as Creekside Gondola and the other at Whistler Village known as Whistler Village Gondola) . Then you need to take a chair lift called "The Peak". Remember than if you take this route too late during the day you might not be able to get back via gondola from the Creekside (where you will endup at the the end of this trail) up. TO be back at the Whistler Village you need to go back on the gondola up. They usually close all gondolas going up around 3pm during winter (but check schedule each day to make sure it is running).

Mt Seymour's elevation and proximity to the Pacific Ocean provides us with the most reliable and consistent snowfall in the region.

We also offer an excellent snowshoe program and were recently voted the No.1 snowshoe friendly ski resort in North America. We provide, guided tours, over 10 kilometers of dedicated snowshoe trails, and snowshoe rentals.
Organized by Metro Vancouver, the Watershed Snowshoe tour provided us an opportunity to explore our local mountain, learn about wildlife and the source of our drinking water at a very reasonable cost. Our guide Jay was very professional and patience. He showed us absolute beginners how to wear the snowshoe, how to walk and made sure we had a safe and educational experience. They only have 8 trips a year and they are in February and March. Don't miss it.

Whistler Olympic Park is a non-profit organization, and all proceeds from our recreational offerings and ticket/pass sales go directly towards growing sport and supporting Nordic athletes!
How the winter Olympics was put together and how the courses were made. There were information areas inside and out. The inside area you were able to see the clothes, equipment, bins, etc that the players used. We walked up and took pictures in front of the rings. They are very large! Inside they had the podium that the winners stood on. You can ride on bike or walk through courses. It would be cool to see in the winter time.

Sasquatch Mountain Resort is a small ski resort located in the Douglas Ranges near Harrison Lake, British Columbia, Canada, between the towns of Mission and Agassiz. Average annual snowfall at Hemlock Valley is 30-35 ft more than most other areas in Canada. The vertical drop is 396 m (1,300 ft) from a summit elevation of 1,371 m (4,500 ft) to a base elevation of 975m (3,300 ft). The area comprises 121 hectares (300 acres) and has 36 runs, the longest of which is 1.4 miles (2.3 km). The area has four lifts - one quad chair, one triple chair, one double chair and a beginner carpet. The resort features night skiing and tubing as well as 13 kilometres of trails for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.
We are Diamond and Double Diamond skiiers, that often ski with beginners, this review is to cover all levels, Getting to Sasquatch mtn, formerly Hemlock. Check google maps for route, and DriveBC site first to check road condition. The last part of the drive is a Steep logging road, last 11 k are gravel, switchbacks, no guard rails, slide prone areas, pot holes get big enough to bottom out an average car. The road is usually continually graded,with snow, rain, melt and freeze it is impossible to keep it up. Wouldent drive a car up more than a couple of times a year depending on the road and weather conditions which changes hourly. Yes hourly. Truck is the best choice to drive up and down, then Suv 2nd choice, car last. We have all 3 and almost never take the car. This is a special designated logging road you must carry chains in all vehicles including 4x4 with snow tires. Saying that have never been checked in 2 years and can almost always make it up with 4x4 as long as no one stops infront of you when the road is snow covered, which very often happens. Almost all front wheel drive vehicles can not make it up without chains if there is fresh snow on the last 13 kms climb to the hill. Skiing is mountain weather dependant, like any mountain, we have had some amazing powder days and some wet rain days as the base is fairly low. The hills proximity to the ocean is close enough to effect the weather being warmer than most mountains this size with a little more rain. We have skiied all over north America. With nice snow all mountains have something to offer. The west coast mountains from the rockies to the pacific just have a lot more of everything on a larger scale. Try it on the right day you may really Enjoy it, we sure do. Runs are a great mix for all, fantastic to learn with a carpet lift and a beginner chair. Dont expect to ski directly onto all of the black diamonds from either peak. Some require a short uphill hike usually 5-20 minutes depending on your fitness level. Old school lodge, super clean washrooms, well kept, good "lodge food" choices, nice pub, prices are fair, nice ski rental,
