Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ski or snowboard with an Olympic athlete? Wonder no more. Whistler Blackcomb offers this exclusive program where an Olympic athlete guides you for a full day on the mountain.
With the groups capped at 5 people and lift line priority, this is the best ski or snowboard lesson you can ever experience. Most of the Olympian guides are from the local area and live in Whistler, so their knowledge of the hill and guidance is superior.
My friend and I went out with Olympian Julia Murray who has been skiing these mountains since she was a toddler and is one of two Olympic athletes that heads the program. It was incredible hearing about her journey to the 2010 Olympics and having her as our guide. We let her know our ability levels and let her have free reign with mapping out our day. She took us out on some of her favorite powder runs and even raced my friend down an official course. What an unforgettable day and experience!
