WINTER ACTIVITIES 2007

Elevate is owned and operated by two local professionals, we pride ourselves on recommending only the tours and activities that we would take part in. All of the companies and tours (because there are a LOT of them) are hand picked by both Shelley and Danielle. Our criterion is stringent and based on value and customer service. Note our favourites and call or email us to plan all of your holiday activities, we take care of everything for your peace of mind.

SKIING/SNOWBOARDING
Obviously – that is why you are here! Whistler/Blackcomb is a huge ski resort and can be intimidating for first timers. We have lived here for 10 years and we are still learning new runs and hidden gems on the mountain.

We strongly recommend that you inform us of your entire groups ability levels before arrival as well as your individual expectations of your ski/snowboard experience during your stay in Whistler. We can then help you make the most of your time and money (lessons are NOT cheap) by explaining the unique and varied packages available. From Roxy All Star Womens Camps to Dave Murray Ski Camps to Extremely Canadian; big mountain skiing clinics – there is a niche for everyone.

We cannot stress enough how important it is for your mental health to let us organize lessons and lift tickets before you arrive. Time and time again people are stuck waiting in long line ups for tickets, lessons, rentals on the first day of their vacation, NOT how we would want to spend our time so why would we let you do the same.
