Xtreme Snow Xpert Canada

Take Your Skills To The Ultimate Level!

This is not a ski holiday or a run of the mill snow board improver camp. This is the be all and end of all of snow sports training. The Xtreme Snow Xpert programmes are designed to deliver world class instruction that goes way beyond the norm. To pass the course you need grit, skills and determination, it will not be easy, but if you graduate you will truly be one of the best on the mountain.

For Canada the location is obvious: it had to be Whistler. The best winter free-ride and freestyle training location in North America if not the world.

How we are different

The main focus at our camp is personal rider improvement in all types of fun and challenging terrain on the mountains. We ski and ride lots of off-piste, powder, tree runs, natural freestyle runs, wind lips, small cliffs, cornices, pillow lines, parks, pipes, runs not on the trail maps and other terrain types you can and can’t imagine! We take full advantage of the best terrain and help you experience and realise a whole new way of riding mountains. We don’t consider ourselves a traditional ‘gap year’ or ‘career break’ type of program in which you would usually spend most of your mountain time preparing for your instructor exams. We do ride on groomed runs, but not necessarily practising snowboard drills or exercises. We’re different, we’re exciting and you’ll love it!

Coaches and Pros

The right coach makes all the difference to your camp experience, which is why we have carefully compiled an all-star group of experienced coaches and pros. We are fully certified with years of coaching experience, are long time locals with intimate knowledge of Whistler-Blackcomb and its sweet-spots, and have larger-than-life personalities. We are committed to completely improving your skiing/riding and we’re stoked to show you the best terrain these mountains have to offer.

Unrivalled Mountain Knowledge

We have been living and riding in Whistler for most of our lives, and it’s because of this that we know the absolute best spots to ride- every hidden powder run and secret spot on the mountains! Our excitement to share our knowledge provides campers an unparalleled riding experience, and campers always express their thanks for this! Imagine arriving at a new resort and suddenly riding only the best terrain for every day’s snow conditions. Yes please! This important point really does make all the difference. We know all the secret spots, hidden fun runs, jump runs, powder runs behind walls of trees, deep powder spots, un-tracked powder runs, cool tree runs, hidden cliffs and drops, deserted groomers and cruisers. We’ve hit every jump, every bump and every jib around every corner! Even seasoned Whistler locals don’t know the spots we know- we’re that good. Whistler and Blackcomb’s terrain is huge- you’ll understand when you get here!

Low Camper-to-Coach Ratio

Our low ratios mean lots of personal feedback, focus and attention. Training within a small group of a similar level is a great way to promote learning and to keep it personal. We have a low camper-to-coach ratio, which averages 4:1. We also keep our overall weekly campers number low so that everybody really gets to know each other. The only problem with this is that it makes it more difficult for you to leave!

Improvement and Confidence

Snowboarding or skiing with someone at a higher level than you- visually seeing it done right- riding in a small group where everyone is pushing each other to succeed- and focused, immediate feedback is the fastest way to improvement. This is how it’s done with us! You push yourself, your confidence and each other every day, and sometimes without even knowing it! Combine all of this with riding the best terrain of the day and a smiling, positive group – it will all catapult your progress and comfort level. Tried, tested and true, this results in real snowboard improvement. That’s how we roll.

Comfortable Accommodation

We provide clean, bright and modern housing for all of our campers. All of our houses have WiFi, laundry facilities, cable TV, phones, bedding and fully supplied kitchens. Each house is fully furnished with two beds in each room. The house locations range from walking distance to the village to a short bus ride (5-10 minutes).

The Full Monty

Our attention to detail means your camp experience is the complete package! We’re in the business of providing an unparalleled mountain camp with all the bells and whistles, not to mention taking care of the small details. We aim to create unforgettable memories for you. We include weekend lift tickets, local bus passes, hot tub-sauna-pool passes, free stuff from our sponsors and full season passes (not ‘mid week’ season passes). From the moment you arrive here in Whistler you are taken care of with the highest level of service campers have come to expect from us. The only thing you are responsible is for your food and drink. We are flexible on all issues surrounding your stay, whatever will enhance it for you is what we will strive to do! And when the chairlifts stop – our evening activities and social events begin. If you have the energy, we have a big list of fun stuff to experience each night.

The Social Aspect

The social aspect of camp is also something that brings campers back year after year. We plan lots of evening activities and social events in and around Whistler. Your after-riding and weekend schedule can be as busy or mellow as you choose. Here are some things you can do:

Weekly welcome drinks – Friday grad parties – video clinics – equipment waxing – night snow tubing – cinema nights – indoor gym sports – ice skating – sauna & hot tub soaks – window shopping – people watching – shop browsing – pub nights – night clubbing – weekend Vancouver trips – snowmobiling – dog sledding – cat boarding – heli boarding – snow shoeing – zip trekking – Tarzan swinging – x country skiing… there’s too much to list!
