Whistler Mountain Bike Park has something for every level of rider. Gentle, banked cruisers through the Coastal forest. Tight and twisty single track - perfect for intermediate riders. For the armour clad, full face wearing, 50lb. bike group there are steep rock faces, gnarly, root strewn lines, drop offs of all descriptions and more.

Excellent organisation of the lifts, very smooth operation. Brilliant variety of graded trails which you can work your way through. Good for experienced cyclists, but challenging for the absolute beginner. Worth hiring protective gear if you haven't taken yours. Check when the season starts and finishes before you go. Although it looked busy from the bottom, once on the hill you meet very few people. Worth checking out the various bike hire places for the best deals and booking in advance. Plenty of good bars and restaurants nearby too.

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.
