 Poster: A snowHead
|
Question - are we better pre-booking lessons with Ski Esprit ($209 for three days online) through the Whistlerblackcomb.com site, or will the SkiWorld rep have better deals that that?
And does anyone have recommendations for ski/boot hire places?

Helen101,
We have always gone independently so I dont know if tour ops get deals on ski school. Since the whole ski school operation is run by the mountain I would imagine that they charge everybody the stated price, but I could be wrong on that. Others might know.
As regards ski hire I have used Summit on various occasions and have had no hassle at all. You can do it all online. They are open early to late. They have their main shop just yards from the Whistler gondola and a few yards more from the Blackcomb gondola(I imagine they have other shops as well but that is the one I use). You get free overnight storage for skis and free day storage for your ordinary footwear, so you dont need to walk there/back in ski boots from your accomodation. The link is

I would wait until you get there for deciding on hire - often the place you stay has a 10-15% discount somewhere, could be Summit, could be Affinity. They don't always make these clear but if you ask at your accom they'll have something

Helen101, we booked our lesson when we got there (just got back). and I think the discount period has just started too. We did a super group and there were only the two of us. Was excellent.
