Event Details
We are happy to have support from Whistler Blackcomb to run skiing and snowboarding programming for 2025 season!
The events are for Black, Indigenous and Racialized folks only
This application is for the March 1st lessons at an advanced level only.
We need to see interest and numbers to be able to form groups. Our general plan is to accommodate skiers and snowboarders of level 4 and 5 (according to WB chart). You can use the chart here to find your level.
We ask you to be fair in estimating your level as some folks tend to over estimate which creates challenges for the whole group. Some folks underestimate their level though, so do not get intimidated either.
Price for March 1st lessons:
$116 which includes a lift ticket, and a full-day lesson.
Only those who submit an application form will be considered for a lesson if selected.
Once we close applications, selected participants will be notified and invited to register for their lessons on a rolling basis.
Applications will be closed on at the end of the day Friday 21st and we plan to send confirmation emails the night of 23rd.
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 [email protected] and [email protected] to your contacts so you don’t miss your spot. Keep an eye on your inbox and our social media for updates. Check your spam folder 5-7 days before each lesson date.
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.
