*PAST EVENT* (BC) Intro to Snowboarding – 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 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. This lesson will be taught on the bunny hill.

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. If you are carpooling with someone, please make sure to chip in for gas/parking.

If you sign up for this event and haven’t received an email from [email protected] by Thursday, March 3 with additional details, please check your spam folder.
