Accommodation, travel and itinerary
Accommodation
Long-term course accommodation is the Pro Ride camp house in Brio, 800m walking distance from Whistler Village and a short walk to the Whistler Village Gondola. The large chalet house has a large kitchen, dining area and living room, a snowboard storage area, a snowboard tuning room, laundry facilities, flat screen TV with cable and Apple TV, free high speed internet and complimentary off-street parking.
Rooms are twin share and equipped with fresh bedding, towels, washer & dryer, complimentary Wifi, TV, stereo, DVD player, cable and fully equipped kitchens so you can prepare meals at home. Campers are matched up by similar sex and age; a private room can be arranged on request.
Getting There
Book flights into Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Pro Ride arranges door-to-door transport from YVR to Whistler and it is included in the program.
Try to arrive between 10am and 4pm on the Saturday and depart after 12 noon on the last day of your program. The last transfer from YVR to Whistler is 6pm, so allow time to collect bags and clear customs.
Return transfers are not included in your camp but can be added at any time before or after you arrive.
Pickups from select locations in downtown Vancouver can be arranged on request.
You can arrive in Whistler earlier or later, but Pro Ride accommodation starts on your camp start date, which is always a Saturday. Arriving a day late still means no missed training, as all sessions start on the Monday after arrival.
