We are there in December, two families mixed abilities all skiers bar two boarders.
Can anyone assist with ski/boarding schools info?
Thanks

Hi, We are going in Feb and I've just been on to the Whistler tourist website http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com who may be able to help with schools. By the way they have a discount on lift passes until 31st August, and although we didn't book accommodation through them still got about 20% off - which may be better than your tour operator. I found it easiest to phone them - very helpful.

There is only one game in town with a qualifier that there a few sub brands structured more as multi day clinics. Average quality of thr sub brands is higher due to continuity and instructors who are specifically selected for thise programmes.

For higher end training there's also Extremely Canadian who aren't part of the main school, but for the majority of skiers it's as above.
I've done the Dave Murray camp and it was great. The DM camp covers the whole mountain, not just the race stuff: in fact when I did it, it snowed so much we couldn't do any gate training, we hit the trees and steeps. By the end of day 3 the snow was falling so hard we were doing laps on the Garbanzo chair and getting fresh tracks every time. I thought I was doing OK keeping up with the instructor while my fellow students dropped out one by one, till the last run down: we called into the instructors hut where he picked up a pair of skis, then skied the same lines as before with a set of skis over his shoulder while I followed on, crestfallen
