Learn to snowboard in a safe and fun environment in Whistler! This intro to snowboard lesson in Whistler will help you learn the basics from how to put on your snowboard to learning to stop and more.

Suitable for beginners who have no experience to those still working on the very basics of snowboarding/getting comfortable on the slopes, beginner-friendly. 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.
