Snowboarding in Whistler

Great 'boarding terrain just as it is for skiers, with all possible on-piste experiences available as well as back bowl 'boarding, heliboarding and summer 'boarding on Blackcomb's Horstman glacier. The resort is extremely snowboard friendly, with tuition available for kids age three and up, one day camps for new arrivals and, of course, high speed quads and gondolas all over the place - making the ride up easy. There are five terrain parks and three half pipes on Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. The larger terrain park extends to 26 acres and includes full features such as jumps, kickers, half pipes and quarter pipes. Numerous events are staged throughout the season. From January through to March there are weekend 'boarder races on both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains in Half Pipe, Slopestyle and Boarder Cross categories - these are open to pros and amateurs of all ages.
