Our exciting Beginner to Advanced Ski Camps will improve your skiing, build your confidence and bring you to all new levels!
You’ll be in a small group of your level each day (max 5:1 ratio, often less) in local lessons with Whistler Mountain’s wonderful Ski Instructors. Groups and coaches change on some days as you progress. Evening atmosphere is fun and social while living and hanging out with the other like-minded skiers in Core Camp and living in our beautiful and very central accommodation. This is the best way to learn and improve your overall skiing!

Where to begin with Core Camps...
The whole experience is unlike anything I have ever had. It is advertised as a snowboard camp, but there is so much more to it than just snowboarding. Most people that attend Core Camps are solo travelers, and you are in shared accommodations with your fellow campers. The scheduled arrival day is Saturday, but you don't start riding until Monday. Your camp experience begins as soon as you type the lock code in the front door of the rider house you are staying at.
For me, this was the biggest thrill of my time at camp. The big unknown of who is going to be on the other side of that door when you open it. I have been to camp twice, and both times I was welcomed instantly and shown around. These people will become much more than just the people you're in camp with. I have made many world wide friends from my two times at camp.
Turner does a great job organizing the riding at camp, making sure to keep the rider:coach ratio as close to 4:1 as possible, leading to lots of great coaching and giving you a chance to get closer and cheer on your fellow group members. The coaches are world class, and when they aren't helping you to better your technique, they are more than happy to show off their professional talents! Also, if your coach is trying to get you to push your limits, to trust their judgement. They know what they are doing, and they won't put you in harms way.
The terrain at Whistler is obviously world class, it is fair to expect lots of powder days. Powder days mean jump days and jump days are the happiest of days. The whole camp escapes and builds a jump with nice natural landing and everyone just works on progressing their freestyle riding.
What else can I say about Core? I have gone twice, and both times were the best snowboarding experience of my life. I now have my third trip with Core booked for this winter and I'm sure it is going to raise the bar one more time.
