2 Week Snowboard Improvement Course

The ALLTRACKS Academy 2 week snowboard improvement course in Whistler is real holiday with a difference. Combining first class coaching with a fun and sociable group atmosphere, you will finish your holiday not only recharged with your break away, but also a much better rider. The tuition focuses on developing freeride technique whilst enjoying the whole mountain, hunting out powder wherever possible.
Rather than wasting time trying to find the best spots, your instructors and guides will ensure you get the best conditions every day!

The training on the two week course comes from some of Whistler's most experienced pros. Their knowledge and enthusiasm will help revolutionise your riding, giving you the confidence and skill to tackle more testing terrain.

The terrain in Whistler is so vast and varied, you will have the opportunity to enjoy it all. From fun tree runs, big alpine style descents and also hopefully experience  some of the famed Whistler powder.
