Event Details
=== DUE TO OVERWHELMING INTEREST AND HUGE AMOUNT OF APPLICATIONS, WE HAVE CLOSED THE FORM NOW TO SAVE YOU TIME ===
We are happy to have support from Whistler Blackcomb to run skiing and snowboarding programming for 2026 season!
The events are for Black, Indigenous and Racialized folks only
This application is for the Sunday, January 11st lessons only.
You can use the chart here to find your level.
Price: $105 which includes a lift ticket, one full-day lesson, and rentals (if needed).
Regular price at Whistler is $439+tax for just the lesson, plus lift ticket , and rentals, which means you’re getting $500-804 of value for $105 plus community support. A great deal, if you ask us!
We create these events in order to support folks in their learning in an inclusive environment, and most-importantly we hope folks connect for ongoing community building.
Only those who submit an application form will be considered for priority registration for a lesson if selected.
Selected participants will be notified and invited to register for their lessons on a rolling basis. Please watch your inbox and spam box in the next few days. We will share registration details once confirmed with Whistler Blackcomb.
Important
If you haven’t communicated with us by email before, our emails might end up in your spam box. Please add our email addresses info@colourthetrails.com and vancouverskiboard@colourthetrails.com to your contacts so you don’t miss your spot.
If you end up registering for a lesson, but cancel on us last moment, you will not be guaranteed a spot in future events. The logistics of the events are quite complicated so last-minute cancellations put a huge strain on us and loss of opportunity for others.
Carpooling + Transportation
Each participant is responsible for getting to Whistler on their own. Before each lesson, we will send out shuttle info and a spreadsheet so participants can self-organize carpooling.
Lesson Cohorts and Community
In keeping with the themes of community and growth, we hope that participants create connections to ski/ride with community members. Please try to exchange contacts with people in your lesson. You can also join our private FB group to connect with other folks.
We ask you not to treat our intentional work as a discounted ski/snowboard service. Please only apply if you believe in our mission and are looking to be part of community, and create connections with Black, Indigenous, and racialized folks. We are doing our best to support those who truly believe in change in the winter sports industry and beyond.
Please do not send us messages while you awaiting for registration details. We will be sharing regular updates as information and confirmations from Whistler Blackcomb team are shared with us.
Reminder: these lessons are for BIPOC folks only.
