I have taken the 2 day steeps clinic twice, Once in 2012 with Gavin, and again in 2021 with Steve M. Steve and Gavin are both incredible skiers and instructors, who pushed me of my comfort zone (but within my abillity) to improve my skiing, both technically and mentally. Their knowledge of the terrain at Whistler Blackcomb is very deep. I have been skiing here since the 70's, and they both took me on lines that I had never skied. Some because I did not know about them, others because I did not feel I was up to the task. My recent class I had luck on my side, and had back to back powder days with lift line priority. My epic app tells me we rode 56 chairs in 2 days. I highly recommend the 2 day steeps clinic, it is a great way to improve your skills and your knowledge of the terrain at WB.
