 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm planning to go to Whistler in March, and wondered if anyone had any experience or recommendations on ski instructors/schools?
From everything I've read/heard it sounds as if instruction in Canada/US is top-notch - but it's always nice to have some personal feedback.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I doubt that he is working there this season.... but if he is Roger Systad is very good...
Stephen Brooks is also an instructor there I love to ski with...
Meesh Berthoud is a friend and a great guy and likes choc chip cookies IIRC

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thank you, easiski, ! 
jonflat2, Drop me a PM nearer the time and let me know what you're after, I'll try to hook you up with what's most appropriate.
There is only 1 ski school, thats that.

Thanks veeeight -I drop you a line closer to the trip.
Off topic I know, but as a matter of interest what's late-March weather like in Whistler ... ? Would I be better trying to get out there a bit earlier?

jonflat2, Light powder days are not unknown in late March April.
2 seasons ago we had a 43 cm dump of light powder on April 1st, we thought it was an April Fools joke by the radio station, until we got up on the chair...... woo hoo!

jonflat2, It is top-notch.
We've been to Whistler for 4 weeks over a couple of years and done a variety of lessons (esprit, supagroups, Dave Murray and Extremely Canadian)
They've all been pretty good (no, make that great) except once when Denise was bumped to a different (wrong) class and couldn't keep up.
Wasn't too happy about it and the guys casual attitude but ski school gave us a refund for the day without question.

Yup, that is the program I teach on, pn Blackcomb. If you're a Level 4-6 and taking a SuperGroups session, I'll see you there!
