WHISTLER, NORTH AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR RESORT
Whistler Blackcomb is one of the best known snowboard destinations in the world and one of the first places people think of when deciding where to spend a snowboard season. As the chosen host for the 2010 Olympics Whistler’s reputation is set to grow even more. Located in the costal mountain range of British Columbia, Whistler is 90 minutes from the bustling city of Vancouver and just a 45 minute drive from the Pacific Ocean which contributes to the area's infamous powder conditions. Over the last 10 years Whistler has been setting the standard for ski resorts in North America, consistently being awarded by both skiing and snowboarding magazines worldwide. Joining a NONSTOP Snowboard course in Whistler will give you the opportunity to make Whistler Blackcomb your season home as you come to know the two mountains that make up this huge winter playground.
THE MOUNTAIN
Consisting of two previously independent resorts, Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain, the now combined resort of Whistler Blackcomb (WB) is the largest in North America. Whistler Blackcomb is renowned for its high snowfall and varied terrain as well as its well managed facilities including fast modern lifts, great mountain restaurants and world class terrain parks and half pipes. Whistler Blackcomb has over 12 alpine bowls to choose from; 8,100 acres of terrain; 200 marked trails and 33 lifts making it one of the largest places in the world to spend a season. The massive snowfall makes it an ideal location for those keen on experiencing “West Coast powder” unlike that found in Europe or Eastern Canada. The area also has one of the longest winter seasons in North America thanks to its high snowfall and three glaciers.
The snowboarding at Whistler is really varied which makes it perfect for our snowboard instructor course with plenty of groomed pistes for practicing teaching techniques and more advanced riding in gladded trees and powder bowls for improving your personal riding technique. Whistler Blackcomb is at the forefront of snowboard progression with a well earned reputation for being at the centre of the freestyle movement. The Nintendo Terrain Parks contain a massive variety of features with a wide range of rails, different sized kickers, hips and table tops as well as two well maintained half pipes including a floodlit super pipe only open at night.
THE RESORT
Being a truly international ski resort Whistler Blackcomb attracts tourists from all around the world. It's a popular destination with all nationalities especially the Brits, Japanese, Australians and of course Canadians from Vancouver and other west coast communities. With over 200 shops there is plenty to distract you whilst you are off the mountain with plenty of good quality local snowboard stores. On the food side the 90 plus restaurants on and off the mountain offer every type of food imaginable from Mexican to Greek and Italian.
As far as après ski is concerned Whistler Blackcomb has got all needs catered for, be it table top dancing at Merlin’s, relaxing with the locals at Dusty’s or partying the night away at Tommy Africa’s. If you want a total break from riding the options are endless: There’s an indoor skate park, cinema, spas, art galleries or museums. The possibilities are almost endless. Or you could try something a bit more active like snowmobiling, heli-skiing or rock-climbing.
ACCOMMODATION
NONSTOP Snowboardseasonaires live in comfortable, modern, well equipped houses. The properties are homely and spacious and range in size from between two to four bedrooms (four to eight people). Most seasonaires will share a twin room although we do have a limited number of single rooms available. Couples applying together will be offered a private double room - please ring the office for details. NONSTOP Snowboard will endeavour to place those of similar ages in the same accommodation. Each house has a communal living area with comfy sofas, fireplace, TV, DVD and stereo. Plus each house has a spacious dinning area and well equipped kitchen where you can prepare weekend meals.
PRE AND POST STAYS
For those who are keen to spend a longer amount of time in Whistler we may be able to offer flexible flight dates and additional accommodation before and after the course. This is a great chance to enjoy early season powder days and to get some practise in before your course starts. You can arrive in Whister anytime from early December and stay as late as early May. Additional accommodation is charged on a weekly basis and includes all utility bills and assistance from local staff. Your season pass is valid from the time you arrive in Whistler.
MEALS
For you to make the most of your time on snow it's important that you eat well. NONSTOP provide healthy, hearty and fine tasting meals each weekday night. Most of these are held in the comfort of your own home in addition to several nights spent at popular local restaurants. For the weekends that you aren't involved in one of our weekend trips away, you can either prepare a meal at home or eat out at one of Whistler’s many restaurants.
THE COACHES
Working with North America 's largest ski school, the Whistler Blackcomb Winter Sports School, NONSTOP Snowboardhave an experienced team of instructors all of whom have been selected for their experience in coaching similar programmes and for their extensive local knowledge. They will ensure that you enjoy the best conditions on the mountain and take you to those 'secret stashes' of untracked powder. All of our coaches are not only great instructors but also qualified examiners, so you'll be well prepared for the instructor assessments as well as the famous powder and off-piste terrain.
WEEKEND TRIPS
We offer a wide range of weekend trips designed to ensure that you leave the course with a good knowledge of the local area and the various experiences on offer. Included in the programme cost are 20 “activity credits” which you can use to select the trips you wish to attend. Additional credits can be purchased for CD$30.
GUIDED BACKCOUNTRY TOURING (4 CREDITS)
A day exploring the famed and much filmed Whistler backcountry. This is a great chance to apply the skills learnt during your avalanche course and find your own fresh tracks.
HELI-BOARDING (20 CREDITS)
British Columbia is home to 90% of the world's heli and cat boarding operations and the Whistler area hosts many of them. This day heli boarding includes three runs covering upto 2300 vertical feet of fresh powder.
CAT-SKIING (17 CREDITS)
A chance to put your powder skills to the test in the untracked bowls and tree runs of Whistler's backcountry. A typical day includes 6-8 runs with lifts to the summit in a 'piste-basher'. Hassle free powder heaven, rip it up!
SNOWMOBILING (6 CREDITS)
A favourite Canadian pastime, snowmobiling is an awesome experience and a great way to enjoy Whistler's spectacular backcountry scenery. Led by professional guides, this half-day tour will teach you the skills to safely operate your own snowmobile.
VANCOUVER WEEKEND (6 CREDITS)
One of the highlights of our Whistler course is the weekend in Vancouver, enjoying some time in the big city, watching an NHL Ice Hockey match and making the most of the city's nightlife. The next day for those who are up for it we head to one of Vancouver's local ski hills - Cypress, Grouse or Seymour - which have great parks and groomers.
HUSKY RIDING (6 CREDITS)
Join a team of world class Alaskan huskies and travel through the spectacular Soo Valley Wildlife Reserveon, close to Whistler. This is an adrelanline filled activity - leave your preconceptions at home.
