*PAST EVENT* (BC) Beginner Ski Lesson (Green Runs) – Mar 6, 2022 in Whistler

Event Details

Supported by Parks Canada and Whistler Blackcomb.

We ask our allies to allow BIPoC members to register for this event. Thank you!

If you’ve already attended a Whistler event (not including steep skiing or snowboarding) in February, please give others the opportunity to sign up.

This beginner-intermediate ski lesson in Whistler will help you improve your skills with an experienced instructor and in a small group setting.

Suitable for skiers who can ride in control on a variety of green runs and may have tried a few blue runs but would like to level up their skills to feel more confident heading onto blue runs. Ages 18+.

Please note: each participant will be responsible for getting to Whistler. You can organize carpooling through our Private Facebook Group. There are also shuttles/buses that you can take from Vancouver to Whistler. We’ve reduced the cost of this event to account for additional transportation costs. If you are carpooling with someone, please make sure to chip in for gas/parking.

With the increased spread of Omicron and in accordance with Provincial Health orders, all participants must be double vaccinated and show proof of vaccination in order to participate in our events so we can do our part to keep everyone as safe as possible and allow us to continue to hold events.

Participants must also wear mask when indoors, at all times and outdoors when we cannot stay 6 ft or more apart.
