Summer in Whistler

July 19th, 2011

After weeks of cold weather in June and July, summer is finally here!

Today, a team of Advantage EJ students and teachers set out towards Pemberton, BC for an action-packed day complete with hiking, sightseeing, an international-style picnic and strawberry picking.

The team explored Nairn Falls, a popular hiking area and camping destination just 25 mins. from Whistler and finished the day with satisfied stomachs, full of delicious cuisine from the picnic and strawberries from Pemberton’s NorthArm Farm. A truly remarkable day!


Welcome Korean Junior Snowboard Team!

May 17th, 2011

Whistler is offering amazing prices on Spring Lift Tickets. There are still plenty of days left on the mountain as Blackcomb is open until May 30th and Summer Skiing on the Glacier will continue until the end of July. That means many of us have had at least 9 months of Skiing Snowboarding this season! We would like to welcome our newest students from Korea. These young boys are studying hard and training to become future Olympic competitors.
