At this Whistler Mountain Ski School in British Columbia, a ski instructor teaches and helps a student with their ski skills. Whistler is known as a first-class destination for skiing and winter sports and is soon to co-host the Olympics.

Up on Whistler Mountain, especially during the winter months, many people can be found getting ski and snowboard lessons from registered instructors as Whistler is not only a first-class destination known all over the world for winter sports, but it is also a great place to come and learn what some of the pros who come here know already.

When you are first learning to ski or snowboard, especially if you have never done it before, it can be a really good idea to get some lessons from some of the pros as winter sports are fun but they can also be risky. Especially with some one on one training as seen here, you will soon be learning in no time some of the basic moves that will stand you in good stead when you are whizzing down the side of one of the Whistler Mountains.

... in recent years as it is soon to co-host the 2010 Olympics, and Whistler will be where all the skiing and snowboarding events will be held, along with the bobsled and the other luge events. The entire world is going to be watching Whistler and the mountain has been getting ready for all the publicity for a few years now. For the locals however it is still a ski resort and after the Olympics are over they will still be able to come here and learn how to ski and enjoy the benefit of living so close to one of the best ski resorts in the world.
