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!
4. Peak to Creek

Reviewed By O6378WFannag - Park Ridge, United States
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).

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.
