Testimonials
‘Spending the day with Mercedes was simply magical. She has a warm personality, is an amazingly fluid and inspirational snowboarder, and she took us to places on the mountain that we never would have found on our own. She gauged our ability quickly, and was generous with encouragement and guidance. We enjoyed her company so much, we booked her for the next day, and during our next trip we booked her every day! Did I mention, we never waited in any lines?‘
Ride with an Olympian Client
The final mind-blowing add-on that we tried at Whistler was the Ski or Ride with an Olympian Program. With a large number of Olympians calling Whistler home, the ski school has had the opportunity to create its most exclusive program where guests can spend a full day out on the mountain riding with a world-class athlete. We were fortunate to ride with four-time Olympian Mercedes Nicoll, and it was an absolute blast! Mercedes grew up in Whistler and the combination of her local knowledge and her deeply personal stories about the mountain, as well as her Olympic experiences, made this one of the best parts of the whole trip.
