    Extremely Canadian steeps camps

    Has anyone done an extremely Canadian steeps day at Whistler? We are heading up for a family week in February and I am considering it to better learn the mountain and have some skills brush up.
    I have been to Whistler a few times but don’t know where to go off the main areas but am comfortable on everything I have skied. Home mountain is alpental where I am not the best skier on the mountain but can hold my own on anything short of the bigger cliffs in the back bowls.

    Yes, was a fantastic 2 days. The instructors I met back then still say hello when they see me to this day, which I find pretty remarkable. If you can nail it on a pow day, you've hit the jackpot. Just fresh lines after fresh lines, as they're tuned in with patrol to know what's opening when.

    I didn't do a camp, but I used their services. I was in Whistler over a President's weekend, I'd never been there and it was absolutely going off.
    But the lift lines were the biggest I'd ever seen.
    I walked into their office and told the owner, I don't need an instructor, but I need a guide. He was really cool and said I could go with the top class , that only had one guy and if I didn't like it, I could bail and not owe anything.
    It was incredible! Cutting lines, with ripping skiers that knew the terrain intimately, made my holiday.
